user un-friendly

Though I'm very pleased with the feel of the leathery black jacket outside and the inner fabric covering, that's about all that's good about M-edge's jacket. The socket that holds the iLiad is simply too tight. It is impossible to get the stylus out...

just one little problem

everything is fine with this jacket. good quality. the only problem is there is no good place for stylus. even though there is some sort of pen holder, it is too big for the stylus.

iRex iLiad

The latest digital book reader offers a pin-sharp greyscale screen and supports a range of free book formats. But does it make us want to start a book bonfire?

Fantastic grey-scale screen. Room for hundreds of books on board. Good battery life

Quite chunky. Viewing quality depends on file type. Expensive
