Review iRex iLiad
Model: iLiad
The iRex iLiad digital reader uses the popular eInk technology for its screen. This creates a high contrast monochrome image that is completely free from flicker and doesn't require a backlight-very similar to reading text on a page of a book. The screen includes Wacom Penabled technology, so you can use the stylus that's stored in a slot at the top of the ebook reader to amend documents with handwritten notes or to draw freehand diagrams, but these notes and drawings are stored in a separate file separate from the original documents rather than being added straight into the document.
The front of the reader is around the same size as the average hardback, but the device is very slim and pretty lightweight. At the bottom of the screen, iRex has four shortcut keys to relevant folders held in the ebook reader's memory. Page navigation is very natural with the appropriately placed page turning “buttons”. The iLiad has 256MB of internal flash memory, but this is shared with the operating system leaving users with around 128MB of space for storing their own ebooks and documents. Additional memory is available with the use of a memory card inserted into the compact flash or MMC/SD slot on the top of the device. Users may also use the USB socket to attach a memory key.
To transfer new files to the iLiad users must connect the travel adaptor to the expansion port at the base of the device. This includes not just a USB port that can actually be used for connecting the device to a PC, but also has an Ethernet port to connect the device to a home network. The device can read PDF, HTML and TXT plain text documents, as well as showing images in the JPG, BMP, PNG formats. It is also possible to read books in the PRC format, which are available via the Mobipocket online store. These books can be bought using the free Mobipocket software. However, these books are priced at about the same level as a standard book making them a little less desirable.
