It was unreasonably expensive, but at the time there wasn't much else with an eInk screen and Penabled input. It works well, but "wifi" is limited to using the net to contact their web server for software updates. There hasn't been a software update for it in ages. In spite of the ability of the reader software to display local html files, it does not utilize the wifi/internet connectivity for browsing.

I bought an entourage edge. Android-based, dual screen. It works very well. Supports web browsing and multimedia. Entourage has a responsive staff working actively on updates and improvements. If iRex had built the edge it would have probably cost $2000.

The problems with Irex began when they dropped support for their first device so they could move on to their next device, which then had problems, but then there was nothing to fall back on.
There's a lesson there.

I almost got totally screwed by these guys a few years ago. Thankfully I purchased the ereader with an AMEX card and AMEX gave them the proverbial middle finger.
