Boasting an impressive 8.1 inch display, the IREX Digital Reader is loaded with a display that is almost twice as large as other electronic reader displays-ideal for graphic-rich books, newspapers, magazines and much more.

This doesn't sound like it's targeted at the average book reader, it sounds as though it's targeted at people who want to read newspapers, magazines and much, much more as well as average books.
Myself I am a book reader, but my book reading tends to be confined to academic books. These are not books that have a lot of diagrams and graphics, but they are often not in a standard paperback equivalent format. I expected that a reader that promises that it is ideal for newspapers, magazines and much, much more would have handled these better than it does.
But it is still probably better than anything else out there at the moment.
