But when you buy a brandnew eReader iLiad V2, with discount for 500 euro (750 $), original prize was 649 euro (970$) and nearly one year later .prc is not the common format but ePub anymore a simple update would help, right? |

How about MS Word documents, Kindle eBooks, Adobe DRM... I could go on. The eBook industry is full of competing formats. Do you really expect that a company is obligated to support every one of them? Guess what, none of them do. You're complaining that it doesn't support something that the company never said it would support. |

sorry I agree with Shaggy. If I want to take advantage of a special offer on a book that is not available in a format my Sony doesn't read, I'll buy it and format shift it. I don't run to Sony complaining I can't read MSReader or Mobipocket files or whatever. I knew that when I bought the Sony.

Yes, the Iliad/NRC offer was too good to be true :-)
People let me tell you: they are going down. I don't give a shit. Wait another five years and you can buy the most fantastic stuff. |

@Shaggy,
iRex told me in the first place that an updat did not have ' their highest priority'. (It could be possible, but..when?) When I bought my iLiad ePub was only 5% of the common formats then. However, sure I can buy ePub ebooks, strip the DRM and convert it with Calibre to .prc. but in the Netherlands that is illegal. However, iRex agreed with their miserable service and compensated us in the Netherlands. Wise-guys like you are still satisfied with this eReader. So why should you get compensated? |

Boys, boys stop to argue about this iREX company and their products.
It is always the same story: a lot of promises, but they do not deliver. That is not only true for the iLIAD, but also for their newest products promises but no delivery: - the DR1000SW (with Wifi) was announced but never launched ... - the promised ePUB firmware for the DR1000 still not available ... - the introduction date of the DR800SG is again delayed ... Mark my words: this company will not survive 2010! |

My son in law, head of the local government adminstration has a budget to buy in januari 2010 50 ereaders. They employees prefer a reader with the possebility to take notes. Because of my experiences it will not be a product from iRex. Customerservices is the keyword. |
