It's interesting that iRex have signed a deal to deliver Mobiepocket format & DRM- great news for both current users of the device and for potential iRex sales ... but it does beg the question ... where is the Kindle (Amazon, owners of MobiePocket, rumoured eInk device)?

Given the specs in the original filing from Amazon coupled with the knowledge from this forum of the likely device releases in 2007 - are Amazon really likely to release the Kindle?

Was the deal with iRex both a lifeline for iRex/a tes for Mobiepocket? Will the Iliad2 be in partnership with Amazon?

Questions questions :-) Is there any good intel floating about regarding the iRex deal with Mobipocket?
