The Digital Reader 1000 (DR1000) was an e-Book reading device that was produced by iRex in the Netherlands. Production was ceased in 2010 when iRex filed for bankruptcy.[1] The DR1000 were produced with a 10.2-inch (25.9 cm) e-ink display.
Three different versions were planned:
- DR1000 (without touchscreen)
- DR1000S (with touchscreen)
- DR1000SW (with touchscreen and wifi & Bluetooth connectivity)
The DR1000 has an internal memory of 128MB, and ships with a 1GB SD card. The manufacturer suggests that this would be sufficient to store up to 1,000 documents or pictures. The S and SW models have touchscreens compatible with Wacom styluses.
Compatible formats
The iRex DR1000 can display various text formats including PDF, TXT, HTML and Mobipocket. In addition, it can display images in JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF and BMP formats.
Criticism
The DR1000 was originally marketed as able to "last days" on a single battery charge, while users report battery life of 12 hours at most. The statement has since been removed from the IRex product page around the time that version 1.5 of the device firmware was released.
