But I also transferred new reading material, and if you connect it to USB it will also charge (but the reader was never connected for longer than 10-30 minutes every day).
In comparison to the Iliad this is a huge improvement.

This is a brilliant site and I'd like to thank everyone on it, and particularly this thread. You've helped me towards a decision and I've just ordered an IREX 800. It seems to meet more of my current needs than anything else out there - at least anything that I can afford.
However, if it turns out that I can't take to an ebook reader and I've just spent 500 euros to find that out - then it's your fault
It's more than 48 hours since I placed my order and it is still showing as "Pending Credit Card Authorization". I tried to telephone Customer Services to find out what was happening, only to be told - at just after 10.00 am - that there is no-one there yet, but maybe in half an hour!
This may be a good product, but of Customer Service is so bad I am seriously thinking about canceling my order - if I can find anyone to take my cancellation
