I think this is a mistake on iRex's part. Instead of deliberately crippling the device, they should have left in the capabilities that already had and marketed the DR800S as a semi-professional device (suitable for casual reading and some professional use). The screen size of the DR1000S is enough of a difference for product differentiation to be effective.
As it stands today, there are many 6"/7" (casual reader) devices with much better PDF software than the DR800S. For example the PocketBook 301+, the Sony 900, and the Oynx Boox 60. The Oynx is particularly interesting because it is close to previous iRex designs (e.g. with Wacom), and there is talk of an 8" version.
