I didn't know some PDFs could be reflowed. I learned something new.  I'm sure the Irex will probably be able to do the same thing since they are using ADE.
I still want the DR800, but I will now wait for others to review it and maybe I'll buy one for my birthday in May. I still think the 8" screen is the idea size and I like their form factor. As long as the annotation works with that pen, they'll still probably get a purchase out of me, it will just be later rather than sooner.

I agree. I really wanted the IRex but I bought the Nook because I had a feeling it would sell out and I was excited by the Nook. I do believe the 8 inch screen is the sweet spot for me as well as it opens the door to read more than just regular books but also spreadsheets, PDFs and comics. My real concern apart from the deafening silence is the complaints I hear about customer service and product support for their existing products. If this silence is an indication of what we can expect for customer satisfaction, I may not pick up this unit. At the price point for the unit I really don't want to take a chance and wind up feeling burned.
