IRex is entering the U.S. market with an initial focus on consumers, what North America CEO Kevin Hamilton calls “the low-hanging fruit.” But he says the opportunity “may be bigger” with businesses, where iRex’s device is likely to have more appeal than Amazon’s Kindle. Unlike the Kindle, iRex’s new 8.1-inch, $400 DR800SG can download files in most formats (“If you can print it to a printer you can run it on the device,” Hamilton says), its software runs on open-source operating system Linux, and it has security features, like the ability to remotely erase files on an entire fleet of readers.
