That, my dear wdcorbitt, is according to me the reader of the readers. funny enough a reader I bought at the same time as I bought the eDGe. all in April last year. The biggest joke is that IREX went busted, chapter 11, finito. company did a re-start, but for all reader owners nada.
luckely for me I bought 3 readers and my wife to loves it. So we got a spare reader.

the reader is still sold by this company http://www.solidfx.com/FX8.htm for a fortune.
