I like my iRex, but the biggest cave-ats I'd pay for a new device to get away are:

* Overall Speed. This is the biggest drawback, and its not only the screen people like to shift the blame on slowness for. If it really just be 1 second between pages it would be okay. Buts its far slower skimming through a pdf / or notes. In some extreme cases it does up to 10 seconds nothing except blinking the red light. At worst when needing to work with the notes I sometimes even print out my scribblings to be able to quickly skim through them, searching specific parts. Its quite paradox, isn't it?

* Writing gap, it still so nasty, especially when turning the iLiad, or holding the pen differently for underline etc. this is the 2nd worst caveat.

* Back reflexion, I really wonder if I'm the only one disturbed by this, when you have a light exactly behind your head, it will make the screen unreadable, so you need to tilt it akwardly.This is especially true in my morining train, but also in some lecture rooms.

* Faster bootup, its really a pain, when sitting in a lecture, and suddendly have catched up something you want to take a note of. Then powerup your iLiad and wait 50 seconds... a pain..

That are the 4 main things, better software would be nice, longer batterylife cool, suspend a dream, but doesn't make me buy a new device.
