In a forum it is very easy to magnify all the problems of any device, be it eReader, camera, mobile phone, etc. I have seen well respected products panned in forums. The criticisms are valid but the magnifying glass may distort how most people feel about the iRex reader, good or bad. Not to make excuses but the technology is still relatively new for a consumer device. We take for granted the miniaturization and I believe even the e-ink technology. Now add the OS and programming involved to control the screen activity with the OS. In many ways this is a miracle device.
Having said all of that I also believe iRex and the others are now at a point where the product has matured to the degree where the next generation readers can't have the issues we see today.
If it is not obvious already I love the digital reader with all its flaws. Maybe it is not possible to separate the people from the company politics but the iRex developers should be proud of what they have accomplished. I said that in a previous post many months ago and still believe it holds true.
