I'm rather new here, so please forgive me for my likely unfounded speculation...
Is this stock shortage of the iLiad perhaps due to E-Ink screen production moving over to the new Vixplex screens. The newer screen that will be used in the new Cybook Gen 3 and presumably the minor update to the Sony Reader?
It seems iLiad is the only one not to announce a new model. Perhaps they will just quietly sell the update screen under the original iLiad name with a quiet "Rev. B" stamped somewhere on the underside.
Larger companies, such as Sony, always want to tout a minor modification as a major overhaul, perhaps iRex just isn't as slimy as that.
