NatCh · 06-17-2006, 11:14 PM

Actually, I like "invitated" (with a long i sound, you know)

Well, maybe so, but I haven't seen a post regarding the new .pdf (June - 06) of the data sheet. So what's different, hmmm?

Oups! Wasn't my day then

Now, I just received an invitation. Big question of the day - should I go ahead and buy one?

Sure

How can you resist? I can feel your urge to instantly go to the irexshop and place your order. Dont fight it.

It is a very natural desire. At least for people in this forum. And dont forget to post your order number

If I would get an invitation I would have the same doughts. Buy the Sony Reader or the Iliad that is more expensive and bigger in size while I only want to read a book.

If I would get an invitation and wouldn't use it I will give it to someone here on the forum that is in desperate need of one.

I found a way how I could give anyone here an invitation who wants one. Just not sure if iRex would appreciate it...

Definitely get one for yourself and, go on, hand out those invites. It will be good for you, good for iRex and good for the rest of us!

i would think as long as it generates them sales, they wouldn't mind. But as soon as the first starts to send complaints in any form to Irex ....

I know the feeling. I am struggling RIGHT NOW whether or not to hit the checkout button. €650 isn't a bargain, especially considering the outstanding issues, but then ... I've been longing for an E Ink reader and this might be my chance.

Alexander Turcic · 06-19-2006, 03:46 PM

If you really, really think you'll get the iRex and only need the invite, feel free to PM me. No guarantees though, I can only tell you how you'll be able to get around the invite-restriction to sign-up and to make the final purchase.

CommanderROR · 06-19-2006, 04:17 PM

it's extremely tempting...but since they won't be in stock before june 30th (yeah...i'll believe that when I see it...) I'll wait a little longer and k´continue researching the possibilities of the Hanlin devices V8 and V2.
Maybe i'll manage to get one of the V2 samples...negotiations still ongoing...^^

From what I can see, the difference between the iLiad and the Hanlin models is the type of difference you find between an iPod and any other portable "mp3" player. The iRex looks to be a real ergonomic wonder of industrial strength (i.e. overengineered!) and a potentially great feature in being able to get a proper daily newspaper on your device. I think it's worth taking the plunge - I bet the iLiad is going to become a design icon still used by us "old-timers" in twenty years time! Cheap at the price!
