IT Reviews have published their review of the iRex DR800S eReader. 'If you want a big screen it has to be said that the iRex DR800S could fit the bill. At 8.1-inches across diagonal corners it is large, and its 760 x 1024 pixels at 160 dots per inch ensure the E-INK display is sharp and clear. But the price you pay for that big reading area is sizeable hardware. The DR800S measures 193mm tall, 149mm wide and 10.7mm thick. It weighs 360g. This is not a pocket sized ereader.'

Laptop Magazine have published their review of the iRex DR800SG eReader. 'The 7.6 x 5.9 x 0.4-inch iRex balances its larger screen with a sleek chassis; it's marginally thinner than the Barnes & Noble Nook (0.5 inches) and, at 12.8 ounces, is 1.2 ounces lighter than the Sony Daily Edition. The 8.1-inch electronic paper display (EPD) dominates the device. Due to the lack of keyboard or secondary display, the DR800SG's shape brings to mind a shrunken pad of paper. Just as with the touch-enabled Sony Daily Edition, the iRex has few buttons. But iRex takes austerity in design to an extreme, with just one long flip bar (used mostly for turning pages) and a menu button on the left edge of the display. A light above the bar indicates when the DR800SG is working, or connected to a computer or wireless 3G.'

Pocket-lint have published their review of the iRex DR800S ebook reader. 'While it's not locked into any online buying of books (unlike the US version, which hooks-up to the Barnes & Noble store using 3G - something that should come to these shores later in 2010), the DR800S doesn't have complete file compatibility. EPUB and PDB ebooks (Barnes & Noble's format), TXT, PDF, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, BMP files (pictures look particularly good on this 16-shade greyscale E-Ink screen) are all dealt with, though HTML web pages, RTF files and Microsoft Office documents are not. iRex's take on Microsoft compatibility is that business users who are likely to buy the DR800S at this price will be savvy enough to save any Word files they want to read as a PDFs directly to the DR800S.'

The EBook Reader have published a review of the iRex DR-800 eBook reader. 'The small bezel and minimalistic design makes the device mostly screen. It has only two buttons: the long flipbar on the left and a menu button below it. The flipbar navigates the cursor, turns pages, and makes selections when pressed. There's a power switch and key lock slide on the bottom left edge of the device with a mini USB port next to it. The included microSD card and battery are located beneath a panel on the back held in place by one screw. Additionally, the iRex comes with a soft neoprene sleeve, stylus, USB cable, and AC adaptor.'
