IREX turns page on eReaders with latest Digital Reader
This morning Hans Brons, co-founder and CEO of IREX Technologies unveiled the latest IREX Digital Reader, a sleek 8.1-inch touch-screen eReader with 3G wireless capabilities. The devices allows users to purchase books, newspapers or magazines from a wide variety of sources, in addition it supports multiple formats including industry standard ePub format and multiple DRM solutions, rather than a single, “closed” proprietary format that locks content to a specific device.
My Stepmother Is an Alien movies The IREX device is supported by key partner Barnes & Noble, Inc, Best Buy, Qualcomm and Verizon Wireless, which together provide access to the content, retail presence and the most reliable wireless network in the US, setting the IREX DR800SG apart in an increasingly competitive market.

Key Product Specifications:
- Big screen, compact design – some competitie devices offer a similarly-sized device but with a much smaller display area. IREX’s 8.1-inch screen is ideal for books, magazines and newspapers with detailed graphics.
- Purpose-built device – the DR800SG uses the latest electronic paper display technology to deliver an experience that is closer to reading ordinary paper than possible with a netbook or tablet device. It also has longer battery life and is lightweight.
- Easy navigation – the device turns pages faster than competing products, and navigation is easy with an interactive touch screen and straightforward buttons. Users can search their library or add a bookmark with a tap of a stylus or skim an eBook with a touch of a thumb.
- Customized reading – users can enlarge or reduce text size and margin widths or select portrait or landscape mode to suit their preferences.
The IREX DR800SG with a leather cover will be available in October at select Best Buy locations. The device has a MSRP of $399.00. Wireless access to download content is included in the cost of the DR800SG and no contract is required.
IREX is talking with several parties in Europe that are interested to work together and at the Frankfurt Book Fair later this year you can expect a statement about the plans for Europe.
