mgmueller,

It's just a matter of the white-balance setting of the camera being off a bit and making a blue caste.

I took a copy and have adjusted the colors so that the blue doesn't take over.

I did that only for the 2nd picture which shows the iRex and the Kindle DX together, since I have a better idea what the DX looks like, color-wise. than I do with the iRex (having never seen one).

It's at http://bit.ly/irex800

I have to add that even the DX is too small in Portrait mode for PDFs with smaller fonts; I usually turn it to Landscape mode.

If Amazon would pay Adobe for whatever type of Digital Edition licensing it takes to allow editing of it, they'd have a lot more clout in the business/academic market. I have to assume they need time to program how that editing is done of course.

I have a review on the iRex's 1000s model which complains that the navigation is awkward sometimes in that it takes 9 steps to close a file.

So far, I've been partial to the Que for serious business reading and editing mainly because of the way they're handling all the other formats.
