Comparing Kindle and iRex

Is $699 iRex better than $359 Kindle?
Kindle features include the ability to annotate passages of text, underline text and make notes to yourself. You can look up words in the dictionary as you read and save your place for later. You can also buy books on the device and begin reading them right away. You can also read newspapers, access Wikipedia and email documents to read on the device. What’s neat about the iRex iLiad is that you can use a stylus to make handwritten notes on pages of a book. You can also make sketches and write documents with the device. Both use electronic paper displays, making them easy on the eyes. They’re both lightweight and provide you with functionality, though in different forms. However, both products are lacking when it comes to what could have been included here. The Kindle is limited in its functions. You can only access certain sites with it, for instance. And while the iLiad provides great functionality, it doesn’t take advantage of this, leaving many users poking and prodding at it in confusion.
