New iRex reader to add 10.2in screen, 3G

iRex Reader 1000 Leak

iRex's hinted-at Monday launch of a next-generation reader will primarily compete in terms of sheer size and connection choices, Forbes says in a pre-release leak. Potentially scrapping the iLiad name, the new e-book device would just be called the Reader 1000 and would outsize nearly any existing viewer of the type with a 10.2-inch e-ink display. The screen would be large enough to comfortably view Word files and other documents in business, which is reportedly one of the new focuses of the 1000.

iRex intros lower-cost, preloaded iLiad Book Edition

iRex iLiad Book Edition

iRex today sought to compete against some of its more frugal rivals and introduced the iLiad Book Edition.

The lack of native e-book content that sometimes plagues these readers is also purportedly solved with 50 vintage books already preloaded on the iLiad's built-in 256MB of memory, saving the user from having to buy more online.
