BestBuy has a restocking free of 15% for non-defective returns. I suspect this hurts irex more than bestbuy.

When the smaller nook/kindle is $259 and the larger kindle DX is $489, $450 seems so out of touch with reality. $350 would be more realistic. Irex's website hasn't changed since the original announcement, a stark contrast to the coverage and marketing of the nook which comes out a month later. I cringe when I think of the irex being showcased in the same area as Sharper Image products... It's also sad that there is a subforum for the nook and not for the irex dr800 (because there are no facts to talk about!).

I had posted this before:

The irex dr800 is only a little wider than the 6 inch screen readers. If the nook was at 1024x768, I would be all over it.
