dotReader alpha release next month with future iLiad support possible
![]() It's very interesting to see how the reader performs as it will the first of its kind to use the OpenReader format, one of the two e-book formats currently striving for becoming the new standard. iLiad users can cheer up since there is a possiblity that dotReader will become available on their platform as well.

Thanks, Alex! You've gone a great job of capturing the highlights. Let's hope that MobileRead readers will speak up to iRex via the contact link you provided. Oh, how I'd enjoy an iLiad/dotReader combo!
Cheers, David |

well, I hope dotreader will really be a good reader...:-)
iRex will hear about this from me, and I hope they'll contact you and your team about the co-development. They'll probably want to wait for their main OS to get complete before they start looking into third party software, but maybe we can give them a nudge to speed things up... UPDATE: I just opened a poll on the iRex forums...maybe this is the best way to alert iRex to our interest (or not) in the DotReader implementation. Go here to vote and comment. |

Many thanks to you too, Roland! iRex has some wonderful people, and OSoft has been in touch with 'em for months, so a prompt and positive decision would be helpful. Getting dotReader on the iLiad would be a very wise use of company resources. Thanks again. David

Hi,
I don't know how good this reader will be, and of course how many formats it will support or how easily we can get or buy books in this format to read. I am also waiting for it and happy with this to get onto the iLiad. I have to mention, however, that with the current 2.6.1 version of the software, I don't feel the slowness of the iLiad's PDF. It is probably close to fine for a handheld device. And I need PDF very much, because all my works are in PDF and I have many PDFs from different sources. So I would say PDF is not slow, only it is not lightning fast. Anyway, good luck with this software too!!! |

so, before i cast my vote regarding dotreader on the iliad,
what payment would osoft require from irex to do this job? and how much would that add to the cost of each machine? -bowerbird |
