KISS principle doesn't cover design only, but functionality and usability.
Anyway, I am saddened to see that new Irex models have not improved on the basic functionality lacking in previous models. Otherwise I would gladly upgrade to DR1000 in a heartbeat.
Hi m-reader,

I am not saying that I like the design, but while we users are here complaining about the design/usability, other people are giving awards for it... very ironic. The market of e-readers is stil immature, all companies are still struggling to create a product that is 'better' then the others, unfortunately they do not always make the 'right' decisions.
