I'd buy one immediately, but I can't. I broke my iLiad several weeks ago, and I really miss it. But repairing it costs €275, which is almost as much as a new DR800.

I'm from Europe, and like most other ebook reader manufacturers iRex doesn't sell its new reader in Europe for several months (if at all). Importing one from the US seems difficult, because Best Buy doesn't ship to Europe, and doesn't even want to ship to freight forwarders.
If there were any other 8" devices available over here, I'd probably buy that one, just out of annoyance.
