A little info tidbit may have leaked out as to why iRex is delaying the release of its much anticipated iLiad reader. Not with a bang but a whimper the company changed the product specification (PDF), effectively reducing the amount of available Flash memory by almost 45% (new: 128MB) and removing any signs of support for SD memory cards. On the positive side, iRex engineers seem to be working on supporting a wider range of e-book file formats.

Thanks to our keen readers sammykrupa and haasisoft for pointing out the differences.
