MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - iRex Digital Reader: Going to receive a review unit

I'm new to the forums, well new as a poster for I've been casually reading for a few months now.

I'm interested in the iRex. I like everything I've read about it except for perhaps the price but who wouldn't want that which they covet to be half the asking price and then half that again.

Anyhow, I'm an artist by both trade and hobby and was wondering if the iRex could be used as a digital sketch book since it has the WACOM pen interface. If so, could you include some information about this ability in your review. Basically as an artist I'm interested in what drawing software is available (If any), the ability to export doodled/sketched images from the device and the pressure sensitivity of the pen.

I understand that the hardware has its limitations but that doesn't stop me from daring to dream.

Thanks (Love the forums).
