Oh well, I had kinda resigned myself to it's loss. I think that's pretty much the end of my time with the DR. I can't say I will entirely miss it. It was an overpriced unit that promised much and delivered very little in relation to what I expected/hoped. I could easily have bought a netbook with the money I spent on it.

I will probably buy another electronic ink device in the future. Probably even this format and size, though unlikely from this manufacturer.
Sorry to hear your DR is dead ... but I get the impression that , like me, you are at least partially happy that this has in effect liberated you in some sense from the DR/iRex nightmare :-) iRex won't be around for years from the looks of it, they have gone to the US now but I would be VERY suprised if they don't find themselves in some jaw breaking Class Action suit before the end of the decade.
