For the record, I have never experienced a crash with my DR1000 - not one. Its PDF facilities really are hugely superior to that of the Kindle DX, which is, moreover, a device not on sale to the overwhelming majority of people, since it's only sold in the US.
You make a good point about the Kindle's availability outside the US. The Irex Device is definitely the size king, I only wish it was a little more resonably priced - almost $900 for an ereader is just a little too far over my pain threshhold for cost. I fear Irex might have priced themselves out of the market. If Astak and Plasticlogic come out with comparably sized devices for less IREX might be in trouble (the others should be available worldwide)
