I'm also thinking of buying a DR800S (I'm in Germany).
I've no eBook reader so far and was waiting for the iPad before deciding which eBook reader I'd buy. The iPad was a TOTAL failure in my opinion (I've a MacBook Pro + iPhone and some more of their products and I LOVE their devices). I'm using Stanza on my iPhone and don't think that the iPad will give me ANY additions.
But back to topic. I'd like two features while "working" with an eBook reader. Zooming (would be nice but is no killer feature for me (so far ;-) ) ) and annotation. I was writing iRex about both features and they told me both features will be implemented soon. (Note taking feature is scheduled for Q1 2010)
The note taking feature is going to be a separate application which, for me, sounds like you won't be able to scribble in you eBooks.
I've read many warnings about iRex in not believing what they're promising. I normally just compare AVAILABLE features while choosing a product.
The problem is: No other product is nearly as sexy as the iRex DR800S(G). It's really fast, it looks great, it has a great quality. The price is a little bit high but that wouldn't stop me from buying it. If iRex is a company that's supporting their products well I'd buy the device now and just use it as a reader till the firmware update is available.
What would be your advice for me? What are your experiences with iRex and their feature updates?
