iRex's iLiad E-ink eBook Reader is Now Available

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the oooh-all-inky-and-whatnot dept.

An anonymous reader writes "iRex has just started shipping its e-ink eBook reader, the iLiad, starting today (July 3rd) — making it the first e-ink reader commercially available outside of Japan. It is available for purchase though iRex's website, for 649 euros (ouch!). Hopefully this price will come down before Sony releases their eReader later this summer."

  5. Re:Poor eyesight forbidden by DRM? by tftp · · Score: 3, Funny
    But consider that if the DRM allows you to increase the font until it becomes readable then you can just put the thing down on the scanner, press a button and go get some dinner. By the time you are back, the scanner will have OCRed the whole book, easier than with paper even!

    The DRM book can be only safe from you if its font is as legible as those twisted, crooked, scratched letters that you need to recognize and enter for subscription to Web services.
