That may be so, but I have a number non-fiction books with lots of pictures in them. They do not reflow well at all, it is a mess. Besides, the way I am looking at it, the interested parties (including me) do not even consider buying the DR 1000. It is either Irex "upgrades" the DR 800, drops the price of the DR 1000 by 30%, or we will be looking for another solution. Even then I would prefer the overall size of the DR 800.
And given the fact that the Iliad had all the requested (and expected) features, and more, it seems illogical.
The business model "professional" vs "consumer" reader is dead. At least at the USD 850 price point, now that the Plastic Logic comes out.
