iRex Technologies has released a new version of their electronic reading device — the iRex Digital Reader 1000 series.  The iRex 1000 series features a unique 10.2 inch electronic paper display and increased memory, as well as a durable design, which was demonstrated when the device was dropped from a height of 1 meter, and survived to tell the tale!

    I wonder if they might increase the height to 2m and drop a paper-based book along side — and then compare the results ;-)

    Maybe we could load 3000 books on the iRex, let it fall from 2 metres high on my head, and drop the paper version of those 3000 books from the same height on Karl’s head?

    I wonder how that would compare ^_^

    I’ve got a thick skin — I imagine they’d just bounce right off :-)
