RWood-that was exactly my thought, and was the reason when I sent it in, I was virtually certain I would not be paying for it. Nevertheless, it seems that Irex has me over a barrel here. I think I am going to pay for the repair even though I suspect they are screwing me.

JuanCarlos-I have to admit that the ridiculously bad contrast ratio between text and background was kind of a shock when I first turned the device on. [JC's analogy for my complaint was along the lines of: complaining about a single white line on a display with such blindingly crappy contrast is akin to complaining about an eye cataract when you've got bone cancer] In bright light though, (which is exactly when laptop screens are worthless) this thing is amazing to read on.

When EInk fixes the contrast and speeds up page flips, this will totally replace reading on computers, I can almost guarantee it.
