Very true.
I had one of those myself and had to send it back to Irex.
On the bright side, I had it back within a month...

I am really beginning to think that this whole e-book readers thingy is not worth the trouble any more.
Complex devices that do not deliver what they promise, ridiculous prices, riddled with soft- and hard-ware glitches, more file formats than there are books, battery lifespans that can only be measured in picoseconds and companies who consider customers to be a bloody nuisance...bah.

Mind you, it IS monday today...
[edit] Besides that, I realise I am poluting this thread
