Irish students trade their schoolbooks for an iLiad
A group of first year students at the Caritas College will say goodbye to their heavy schoolbags and trade their regular text books for an iLiad. Gill & Macmillan, an Irish book publisher is the driving force being the project at the all-girl school, and with this project they want to determine how well e-books work in the classroom and examine their potential.
The students and the staff have received training in how to use the iLiad and they look forward to further explore this technology. Here at iRex we wish them already the very best and look forward to hear about their experience with the iLiad and the e-books.
The press release can be found here.

iLiads on eBay are not always the official version.
Recently some iLiads showed up on eBay that are being sold as new. Although these iLiads might never have been out of the box, they can be different from the iLiads sold via our official retail partners. The reason for this is because iRex sometimes produces iLiads with a different specification and software on request of certain business customers. Due to this these iLiads might not be able to read Mobipocket e-books or receive the regular software updates.
We identified some of the iLiads now being sold on eBay as part of a batch with such a different specification and in some cases even 1st edition iLiads. As these devices are tailored to the business customer’s wishes, they might not offer the same terms of warranty and therefore iRex Tech Support might not be able to offer the same support for those iLiads.

If you buy an iLiad from a third party you can always verify that you are buying an iLiad with the standard software, and warranty by checking the model number, which is ER014x-002-000 for the Western version of the iLiad 2nd Edition.

6 commentsItalian students experiment with the iLiad
At the Universita della Calabria
in Italy a group of 4 students have started with an experiment using the iLiad as their unique support to follow their course in Public Communication. For the experiment all the study materials used in the course were converted into files optimized for the iLiad in order to allow the students to read and study their material using the iLiad.
During the experiment the students will regularly discuss their experiences with the iLiad on their blog. The blog is in Italian, but there will be some translations in English.
At the end of the experiment the students will summarize their findings in a paper which will underline the merits and flaws of using this method of study. For more information check out the blog here In a Spiral State video .

Miss IFA
Last month iRex Technologies attended the IFA, one of the world’s largest consumer electronic trade show, held in Berlin, Germany. It already became a little bit of a tradition over the last several years that the IFA is promoted by Miss IFA , a model with very red hair.
This year was no different and we have a few shots of her showing off the iLiad. You can view them here and here.
