@Henrycat

did iRex give you any information on when the "complete" OS should arrive, and when the .txt support (that is also mentioned in the product flyer) will finally be implemented? I always thought .txt support was the easiest thing to do, because even early DOS readers could handle it quite well and the most basic ebooks usually come in that format...
I really hope this is not going to mean that the Iliad will come out late and crippled because then I would have to go back to reading paper books after I had got used to reading ebooks on my PDA...
