iRex has recently launched the 2nd version of its paperless book, magazine and newspaper reader called the Iliad. The reader sells for $699. It comes with automatic Wi-Fi connection finder and stylus calibration for better accuracy when drawing notes or editing certain types of PDF documents. French newspaper Les Echos has also recently launched an edition for iRex, although it will cost €365 ($506) per year so you'd better really, really like Les Echos and hate the print version.

The Iliad competes with Sony eBook Reader but many reviewers like the Iliad better

The Netherlands' iRex Technologies has held a €6M first close on a new VC funding round led by Main Capital Partners with return backer ABN Amro Capital.
