The Heaven Project ipod I know many of you  have been eagerly anticipating Adobe PDF and  EPUB support. With the recent commotion  around the latest addition to the digital reader family, it might have seem that we have forgotten about this.

Interstate 60 ipod In reality we have been just as eager as you to get the new Adobe PDF engine working on the IREX DR1000S. Although it has been very busy these past months, we feel this is an important step and are committed to release this  firmware update later this year in Q4.

IREX has always and continues to promote an open/standard DRM solution. We believe that consumers should be able to purchase books, magazines and newspapers from a variety of stores and should be able to take that content from one device to another.

Unfortunately the relationship of Adobe and Mobipocket DRM’s is an exclusive one, and both can not be supported on one device at the same time. In order to ensure that our customers are not limited in any way from obtaining the content they desire to view on their eReader,  we have decided to keep the old firmware with Mobipocket DRM available. This means that you as a customer can decide if you like to run Mobipocket or Adobe DRM on your device.

There’s been a lot of speculation

in the press recently about whether IREX would bring a consumer eReader to market. Well, in case you missed it we issued a press release this afternoon to announce our partnership with Barnes & Noble. When the IREX consumer device launches later this year in the U.S.  it will include the Barnes & Noble eBookstore, which gives users access to more than 750,000 titles.

In terms of product specs, here’s what I can tell you so far: the device will include an 8.1-inch screen and 3G wireless connectivity. As you saw with the Barnes & Nobles news, we’re putting the content partnership in place and you’ll hear more about network infrastructure and retail presence soon. It’s going to be an exciting few months, so stay tuned!.

Kevin Hamilton, CEO IREX North America.
