Hi everybody!

I know that this will seem a strange post coming from me, but I've seen a lot of complaints lately and also had a chat with Angel Ancin and I have a feeling that maybe we should try something to make life more pleasant for all involved...

Let's keep the ongoing rants about the shortcomings of the Iliad to a few select threads. Discussions about the "misleading advertising" go into the thread with that name, everything related to legal action, refunds and similar stuff should be kept there. Posts about the battery-life, suspend and similar issues should also be kept in one thread.

The reason for this is, that we are losing valuable posters because all threads are filling up with negative postings that basically revolve around the lack of suspend mode and other features and the bad communications of iRex.

I also don't want to see any "iRex Fanboy" posting that revolve around the line "It does what I want, so it's perfect" since they are just as unproductive as the other kind.


There are lots of good things happening right now, the Iliad is an OpenSource device and people are starting to write software for it, useful software like FBReader, dictionaries, an mp3 player...what will we get once the reflash option is here? How much difference will mobipocket support make for the Iliad? Let's get out of the depression and back up to constructive postings. Don't let iRex get away with the mistakes they made, don't forget what went wrong and why, but try to let the development of the device and the company behind it continue because constant whining will not get the Iliad anywhere and it also won't help the credibility of mobileread.

I'll try my very best to stick to this new "guideline" and I hope you will all do the same. Keep the pressure on iRex up, but keep the whining down and try to avoid repeating the same complaints over and over in all threads.

Thanks.
