I'm hoping what will happen is that iRex gets enough feedback from potential DR800 customers who are interested in this feature that they reconsider adding it.

And given the fact that the Iliad had all the requested (and expected) features, and more, it seems illogical.

I wouldn't necessarily compare the DR800 with the iLiad, even though they have the same screen size. I view them as being completely different generations of devices. Personally, I would compare the DR800 vs the DR1000.

The business model "professional" vs "consumer" reader is dead. At least at the USD 850 price point, now that the Plastic Logic comes out.

We'll see what they ultimately decide. My impression is that this is the business model they are currently using, but I don't really have anymore insight into that than you do. I'm just going off of comments they've made in the forums.
