I was all set to buy a Kindle 2 until I saw the press announcement for the IRex DR800SG. It seems to answer very well some of the things I don't like about the Kindle 2. Of course there are some downsides too, like higher price and no browsing. My main problem is that I'm going on vacation early November and really wanted to have a reader by then (my first), to take with me. Can I trust IRex's press release statement that "The IREX DR800SG with a leather cover will be available in October at select Best Buy locations." What's their past record been like for getting new readers in the stores when promised?

If you'd like to add any other comments on the pros and cons of purchasing the IREX DR800SG, those would be welcome too.
