Well, when you tell your customers you don't have spare parts to handle warranties, 2 plus 2 equals 4 even for them
I don't think iRex had any kind of ethical concern about working conditions in Asia. iLiad was produced in Philippines if I remember well. It just means they hadn't standardized production yet for some products.
Surely last year they had no ethical concern for iLiad and, even worse, DR1000 owners.

I bought the pricey European DR800, I never regretted it, I still think it's a superior reading device. In the end I'm very sorry that iRex - one of the very few companies that still has its production line in Europe and not in China (or somewhere in the East) where the workers are dirt poor and working for peanuts so Americans and Europeans can have their affordable technology - find themselves in financial trouble. I hope they'll make it work somehow, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
