I got a reply to my blog post at Irex... here's the info...

@Matthew
The new IREX reader will initially only be available in the U.S., next month on the Frankfurt Book Fair we will announce our further plans for the IREX DR800.

@Max
Note taking capabilities are not yet enabled, initially we wanted to focus on the reading experience. However we plan to add the functionality via a firmware update.

Yes, the Merriam-Webster dictionary.

@Ann Barrett
Not at launch, the IREX reader is initially launched in the U.S. only.

@craig
#1 No at launch it will only be available via Best Buy stores.

#2 Approx.6000 page turns or several days, but the exact battery life depends largely on the usage pattern.

#3 Absolutely, with just a thumb on the rocker bar you can navigate the menu, open a book, add a bookmark, change fonts , etc…
