Features:  

The iRex Digital eBook Reader has similar features to other offerings from iRex technologies (like the iLiad 2nd Edition and Book Edition found on this review site). At only .5” thick, it’s super thin and ultra portable, making it much smaller than the briefcase and more efficient than it too.

iRex focuses on one feature, the ability to “print” documents to the reader thus saving paper and time. Instead of having to print the same document several times, you can send it to the iRex Digital Reader and it will be converted, much like an Adobe PDF file, into a format you can store on your reader. From there you can make notes on it and save it all together.

One of the biggest attractions of the iRex Digital Reader is the touchscreen. It’s larger than the screens of any other reader in this review, and the touchscreen can be used both for navigation and taking notes or highlighting text. For this reason, the iRex Digital Reader is one of the easiest readers to use for editing or marking text in a document.

The battery only lasts for 24 hours, but odds are you won’t need to use it for much longer at one time.

It’s got wireless and it has a convenient screen that will respond when you write on it, however, it is by far the most expensive device we reviewed. The features, although unique, don’t quite add up to the higher price tag.

Content:  

While the iRex Digital Reader doesn’t have a dedicated content provider, it does have the ability to read just about anything you can find on the internet and print or convert to PDF, so that makes the amount of available content almost unlimited. However, if you’re going to use it for books, it doesn’t store very many titles and has a limited number of book files it can support.
