Looks like it's off my list -- and going back to Best Buy -- too.

Before I bought I expressly asked Irex customer service if the NY Times would be supported, they said yes and told me it would be through LibreDigital. They still seem to say that it can be had through LibreDigital, but won't give me any information on how to obtain it from them. They also have informed me that there's not going to be a LibreDigital store on the device itself -- which seems to contradict the joint press release that was issued saying that newspapers and periodicals would be available wireless through the deal to allow LibreDigital content on the DR800SG. Oh well, the hardware was pretty nice, but they need to get their act together.

For whatever it's worth, in their last e-mail to me, they did state that the "scribble" annotation feature would be made available on the device in the next software update.
