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."

    Don't they even try to cover up the advertising in a submission anymore?

  2. Re:Yeah, but what format? by winkydink · · Score: 0, Troll

    So do they support Adobe Reader, Mobipocket or MS Reader, which, for better or worse, are the three most popular DRM formats available?

    Also, what's the advantage of this unitasker versus reading on my PDA?
