iRex iLiad

Disappointing Battery Life, Parts Qualit

By Spence (alaTest.co.uk)

I\'ve been using this device now for about 5 months. The two most disturbing things is the battery life which is poor, and the screen refresh rate. When turning pages, you sometimes have to turn the page back and forth to get it to render properly. The...

Good size, Light weight, Lots of ways to add documents

Battery life is poor, parts/quality is still a serious issue
