iRex DR800SG like new - In Canada - *** SOLD
I bought an iRex DR800SG from Best Buy in USA using the "personal shopping" service from http://www.usunlocked.com, because I'm in Canada.
I received the reader friday (19 march 2010). That is two days ago. I used the reader for two days only. It is in a perfect condition. It's currently in its original box. I paid (US dollars): $399.99 + Best Buy tax and shipping ------ $435.47 + 43,55$ : usunlocked personal shipping service (10% of the item price) + $47.6 : usunlocked shipping cost to Canada ------ $526.62 I also had to pay $33.84 import charges from UPS! (beware when using UPS from US to Canada!)

I would prefere to sell it to someone in Canada. Last edited by electrotype; 03-24-2010 at 07:13 PM. Reason: sold |

The screen is just a little too small for me...

Hi,
I'm intrigued why you say it is too small... I'm looking for a device to read mainly technical PDFs on programming and IT... Is 8,1" good enough for reading PDFs without reflowing/zooming ? Thx |

For a technical PDF, you will need the april zoom feature in my opinion. But maybe it's just my eyes that are not so good...
If the document is text only, reflowing works really great though. |

I think it's about the best thing available at the moment for certain types of academic reading. If I was doing something with lots of formulæ I would probably think again because of the reflowing issues that they cause. |

Can you get warranty service for the 800SG outside of the US, seeing as though it is only available in the US?
Thanks |

Hi Electrotype
Just found out that IREX does honor its warranty regardless of where one are located, except that the owner is responsible for shipping outside the US. Looking at your picture, the unit is powered off. Just wanted to confirm that the unit powers on, holds charge and otherwise functions normally. Thanks |

Hi,
Where in Canada are you located? Is local pickup available? I'm in Toronto. Thanks! Last edited by luangm; 03-23-2010 at 10:47 PM. |
