Hello from St. Louis, Missouri!

I tried to purchase the iRex 1000S from the US retailer, eReader Outfitters, just yesterday, which was to have been released this past week. However, they are telling me that the shipment from iRex has been delayed because they (iRex) are working out a few 'bugs' with the new DR1000S.

Should I be concerned about buying it as soon as it arrives? (I'm a doctoral student, not $$$$ rich, and so to invest this much cash must be a sound decision. I can either A) condier the DR 1000S a good deal if I can put all the hundreds of readings and PDF journals on it and not lug around the stacks of papers I must read daily,

or B) ...choose another product. But which one? I've searched, and although Readers are great for leisure,(Kindle, Sony, even iLiad) I need something to primarily read (easily) PDF full size (8.5 x 11") pages.

Any advice is welcome!
