iRex Technologies has unveiled it’s DR 800SG wireless book reader. Expected to compete with other ebook readers such as the Amazon Kindle and the Sony reader, the iRex model features an 8.1-inch touchscreen display and includes wireless network connectivity through Verizon in the US and Qualcomm’s Gobi multi-mode 3G elsewhere.
The iRex reader comes with a stylus input as well as 2GB of internal memory that can be upgraded using memory cards. The device is said to have the fastest page refreshes available on the market and supports the ePub file format. The device supports content download using the B&N eBookstore as well as from other content providers such as the Newspaper Direct and LibreDigital stores.
Select Best Buy stores will carry the $399 reader this October when it is released.
