I don't think iPad has much to do with it - these products cater to different needs. I was in a situation to choose between iPad and iRex dr800 and I chose iRex, because of the eInk, weight, battery life, and reading options (and I'm generally not impressed by shiny gadgets with enormous marketing machinery behind them). iPad didn't stand a chance really.

Btw, IMO iRex dr800 is a superior reader (maybe even outside the 8" or less category - bigger screen was tempting for a while, but I realized portability was an issue for me, so larger devices were a no go).
