I am very interested in this reader. I'm a Kindle user (both DX and K2) and I will likely continue to use those devices, but neither of them is ideal for me. This new iRex reader seems like it is small enough to carry around, but still has a reasonably-sized screen. It looks like this reader will accept files from B&N, Fictionwise, BooksOnBoard, and (eventually) Sony, which makes it really nice I think.

Until Amazon realizes that (1) a keyboard is a waste of space on a reader, and (2) format compatibility is a MUST, I will be a multiple-reader person.

Sony lost my business forever when they sold me that lousy 700 and then refused to take it back (silly me, I thought Sony sold quality products and I had them engrave it for me, which made it non-returnable even though it was IMHO unusable).
