iRex iLiad rumored to hit Switzerland
Our Italian friends at Simplicissimus report that iRex Technologies has signed a deal with publisher and book retailer Orell Füssli to distribute the iLiad e-reader in Switzerland. Although still unconfirmed by iRex, I'll definitely stop by Orell Füssli's main store in Zurich tomorrow and ask them for availability and price.
Without doubt iRex did a marvelous job in finding B2B and B2C partners to spread the iLiad happiness throughout the globe. I count Holland, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Japan and the US among the countries with official distributors for the iLiad. Did I miss anyone? |

It seems they are already listed on the iRex where to by page and the iLiad is also available from their shop at books.ch.

Thanks for the link. I was only looking at their press release page and couldn't find any indication on Orell Fuessli being the distributor in Switzerland.
OK, found the link @ books.ch: http://www.books.ch/shop/action/prod...artiId=6544336 1048 CHF is around 635 EURO. Interestingly the official iRex store recognizes my IP as coming from Switzerland, and they offer the e-reader for 949 CHF (575 EURO) -- that's a whole 10% less! |

To the point: the mere fact that a device like the iLiad will be distributed by a traditional publisher and book retailer like Orell Füssli is, in my opinion, a BIG shift. |
