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.

Otto release

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.

Today we released software version 1.6 for the iRex Digital Reader 1000S and it is now available for download. For more information on how to update your device see the support website

This new release will introduce an improved and unobtrusive ‘Standby Mode’.  The device will not longer indicate the ‘zZz’ icon on the toolbar, but it will just go into ‘Standby Mode’ after a number of seconds predefined by the user.  With a tap on the sensors or with the stylus on the touchscreen, the device will immediatly wake up. It also allowed us to save another 10 to 15% on the Battery life.

In addition to the improved ‘Standby Mode’, this release will also include the PressReader V2 application from NewspaperDirect, which comes with enhanced navigation features, easy-to-read text views, article hyperlinks and interactive tables of content.
