Irex to Begin Selling DR800S Ereader in Europe Next Week no comments
Or at least that is what their latest press release dated yesterday says.
The 8.1-inch touch-screen device boasts a sleek design, easy to-use interface and open DRM policy – it will be available January 18 2010 in stores (amongst others Mediamarkt, FNAC and Selexyz) throughout Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, the Netherlands, Belgium and the UK and online in the IREX Web shop (www.irexshop.com ).
The DR800S is the European version of the DR800SG ereader (which has 3G for the US market) which was supposed to be available at Best Buy stores in the US a few months ago. The US version has never shown up, and Irex has been silent for the most part about its missing ereader. The company has apparently opted to employ the time honored Ostrich Strategy, Head In The Sand (OSHITS) method for dealing with bad news when it comes to the US version of their new ereader.
The DR800S ereader will sell for $601.44 in the Irex online store.
