In addition, I would not buy an iPad because of what Apple is doing to the market with locking-in and locking-out and its own censorship. It may work for others, I'm not judging, but it certainly does not work for me.

I do agree with you that the reading experience is a personal one. Anything backlit is unsuitable for prolonged reading for me. Therefore I am highly biased towards e-Ink and other non-back lit screens.
But in what way is the technology in the iRex siginificantly superior? In terms of actual technology, as opposed to personal preference of, for example, screen type.
