iRex Digital Reader 1000S DR1000 Reviews

Digital Reader Takes Notes and Views Docs Like a Pro

With a 10.2-inch display that is also a Wacom touch surface, the 1000S is the document- viewing and note-taking winner. We loved using it to read

Very poor quality and worst customer service at an outrageous price: AVOID!

iRex technology... belongs to the stone age: SLOW, unresponsive, bulky and heavy, enormously overpriced. Does not work well with mobipocket, does not work well with Adobe PDF files... oh, what a waste of money, what a frustrating experience, what an...
