I've always been an iRex fan. iLiad has been my very first eInk reader and I simply loved it. 1000S, in my opinion, in some areas already was some steps backwards. And iRex 800S again, in my opinion, is moving some steps backwards. For a relatively unknown company like Onyx, it certainly would be a nice enough unit. But for a "veteran" like iRex, I'm really a bit disappointed. Zoom on iLiad back then has been quite an innovation. But now, it's more or less standard. And the veteran iRex left it out. And on the other side has a premium price. I don't like BeBook Neo's design very much, but for € 299 its featureset is phenomenal. iRex 800S, for € 200 more, is offering less. Quite a surprise. Would I have known about missing zoom and other details like that, I'd have to weigh carefully, whether actually to buy it. Until iRex 800, iRex has been one of the few companies, whose readers I blindly would buy. This has changed a bit, quite unfortunately.
