I purchased an Iliad Book Edition from iRex in August of 2008. Due to problems with the delivery company, DHL, I never received the product.
iRex promised me a refund, but has not done so. At this point, I have neither my money nor the Iliad. iRex is totally ignoring me and does not even reply to emails. My only recourse now is legal action.
If you are thinking about purchasing from iRex, you should know that this company no regard for customers after they have your money.
not meaning to look like a geek, which I do, but an epaper display is basically tiny ball bearings, each 1 being 1 pixel, black 1 side and white the other. When charged, a pixel flips to the black side, so when a spot on the epaper is touched, it creates a link and flips over to black. it was on wikipedia, so it must be true. probably.
How can it be real? At first the video clearly showes that this device takes nearly one second to refresh the page or display a new one. Then at the end, he writes on the display and oh oh...all of a sudden the display refreshs within milliseconds!
Well I don't know how this worked but the display at the end is definitly no e-ink display.
Drawing only requires changing a small number of pixels. Changing the entire screen requires changing all pixels (well, the ones that changed) - not sure how optimized it is...
still over priced with low resolution

very quick ebook, but contrast a little bit low.
