iRex DR800S $400

Somewhere between the Kindle 2 and Kindle DX lies the iRex DR800S, an e-reader with an 8.1-inch screen and a price tag to match.

dang at 1:50pm 15th December 2009 The Kindle 2 did not ship with native PDF support. It was added just recently through a firmware upgrade.
The Kindle DX supports it natively.

TechFreak at 10:33am 13th October 2009 Is there a reason all eReaders are ugly? Why are they white or grey? How about some blue, black or something with a little flair?
1. Greg Mombert at 8:30am 14th October 2009 Would you really want to stare at blue plastic for hours while you read?
  1. Marilyn at 7:21pm 19th October 2010 What a moronic question. It is the content of what you are reading that matters. The vehicle is just that and having a choice of colors on the vehicle is a matter of personal choice. So while you choose black or white, others would prefer colors to stare at for hours. Color enhances the environment for many folks.
