jęd:
I never advocated litigating. I suggested contacting your local member of the EASA. iRex don't seem to understand that they are operating illegally. Contacting advertising standards is the correct procedure in this matter as it indicates (without litigation) to iRex that they have a number of customer who are aware of proper process and are unhappy at being treated in this manner.
I will also point out that the new website states specifically reading and writing, whereas the old techspecs were purely reading. Writing on the iLiad uses power. So this may be the difference.

Few problems?
We have 1 working format (PDF).
We have several formats which simply don't work in a usable manner. We have other things which simply don't exist.
We have just over 50% of the stated batterylife.
You might call these a few problems I feel differently.

No arguement that the iLiad is groundbreaking. It's very good at what it does. And I have no issue with that. I have an issue with the fact that wahat is does is less than a half (IMO) of what it should do according to the specifications given when they started selling it. However had the specifications stated it would do what it does now,and nothing more. I probably would still have bought it.
I'm very glad you feel you have enough money to spare replace your iLiad within a year of the original. You obviously have more disposable income for me good on you.
Onto other people's comments:
As for the people that said they may have meant a work week.
A week is 7 days. If they diddn't mean 7 days then that is
their fault for not being clear. They have had since September to correct this mis-understanding and despite posting on here and their forum they havn't done so.
Even so, the new iLiad needs a larger battery to get to 15 hours. How does this bode for the existing ones? Yes we apparently will have the option of a battery upgrade. But from the way it's been worded implies this will not give us what we were told it would.
Lastly can an admin type please change the name of this thread?
I originally wrote it when rather annoyed (and my original message was completely different). As we are unable to remove our own postings I tried to change the thread title to "iRex - Misleading advertising" but it didn't change the thread itself just the first message.
