Curious thing:

iRex Digital Reader 1000S - £469

the iLiad 2nd Edition - £449

for argument's sake - the same price.

Does this fact puts an end to an urban legend that the price of eInk readers is so high because it mostly depends on a very expensive eInk screen and the bigger screen the more expensive it is? Also one of the main points of why iRex iLiad is so much more expensive than any other 6" eInk readers, was that it had 8" screen which the most expensive part of the reader.

Now we have 8" vs 10.2" but the price is exactly the same....
