***Shocked*** DR800S for sale at Fnac PT
Hi!
I'me just amazed! For the last couple of days I've been very tempted to buy the DR800S from irex shop. Today, I've received a mail from Fnac in Portugal with new stuff they have. And they listed the DR800S. As I live less than 5 minutes from the nearest Fnac, I went there and I was shocked! For the first time I'm seeing an iRex product on display! I bought one... And whats more amazing, is that it cames with the advanced stylus and with a black leather cover that I've never seen a picture. All for 550€. Still charging, so lets wait!

That's the normal case slipcase that comes with the DR800S, which is different from the one that comes with the DR800SG. I wouldn't refer to a slipcase as a cover, which I consider something that can be opened to allow access to the device.
Does your DR1000S have a screen problem? It looks like line errors. |

The white cover is supposed to be real leather. I don't see a black one on their site, so don't really know what it is. If you're talking about the slipcase... that's vinyl (or something like it). Sounds like bcabral is talking about a black version of their white leather "luxury" cover though.

I think you're right, that does sound like the standard 499 package. |

In fact, I've just made my order this same morning from http://tienda.leer-e.es/ , the same place from I bought my iLiad 3 years ago. My interest in FNAC were to try to convince wife & friends that iRex products are far better e-readers than Sony, iPad, ... People tend to say I usually buy "strange" products, it was a way to tell them "look, iRex is also mainstream, even you can find it in FNAC!" |
