Iliad users are compensated [Apparently a hoax]

[Iñigo]

I have an Iliad since 2.5 years ago.

I will only say one thing: it's the best buy I've ever done.
[And thanks, but I'm very conscious of every missing part of the device]

Iñigo

PS: I usually don't answer this kind of messages, but I'm getting tired about all these ramblings. If you don't want the Iliad or iRex, please say it. But again, please, don't repeat yourself ad infinitum or insult the people who like them.

I doubt they're updating them out of the goodness of their heart, they're doing it because they don't want you to spend your eBook money elsewhere.

iRex, on the other hand, doesn't tie their device market to a content market.

Lesson of the day: buy a reader from a company with secondary sources of income or wait until readers are cheap enough to be causally replaced when they are obsolete.

I see that cheaper ebook reader like cybook and bebook are now supporting epub when before, like iLiad, they don't. iLiad is one of the expensive ebook reader on the market and it is sold now without a minimal support for actual reader format. I repeat: it a choice of iRex that force me to a personal choice: never suggest to anyone a iRex product.

Here's another one from my "reasonable" collection: I will never buy an iRex product again.

It's publicly available common knowledge information. It certainly isn't as though you need to refer to 3 different obscure sources to discover it.
