To sum my experience with iRex 800 up:
Standalone, it's a great unit. If you compare to Sony 900 or nook it's definitely too expensive. Even more in Europe, where it's € 499.
If you don't care about the price, it's a great unit (I rank it #2 of my 14 readers). If you care about cost:benefit ratio, it's ranking slightly lower (but still way above the average). Check out the specification (and for example my thread) so you won't have negative surprises. For example, it doesn't have the "intelligent" zoom of other iRex units and it doesn't have annotation (for now).
