Kevin Hamilton CEO of IREX is offering a give away for one of his eReaders. To enter to win the eReader post about this giveaway on your blog and then link back to the site through Mr Linky.
Below are the technical specs for this reader, as well as reviews and comparisons of the latest eReaders on the market from a reputable source – Wired.
Wired compares this reader to Sony, Kindle, and others in the article. One problem with it, they stated, is that newer book titles are not accessible from the larger sellers. However, from the post linked above it looks like this reader now has access to the Barnes and Noble eBooks catalog. This changes everything. I would love to own an eReader, and based on this new knowledge the ILIAD (cool name too) would be my choice.
ILIAD is wireless, has a wireless internet connection, weighs under 1 lb, has an expandable memory, audio capabilities, as well as a way of scribbling notes in the text.

This is an awesome giveaway, but I can't seem to figure out how to enter. Is the contest not currently going on but will start up soon, or am I just missing something from the website?
Thank you for your help.
Hey Logan -
I want this. I dreamt about it last night.
Go to the site linked below and scroll down. There are two posts about the contest. One has Mr Linky. The other is info about the product. Both posted by the CEO or IREX.
Write a post about the eReader linking his post about the product post in it - Save the singular page link/url to your post and copy it into Mr. Linky.

That helps tremendously. Thanks so much for your help.
Good luck to you, too!
Logan-
Excellent! maybe you will be the luck. Since we won in tandem one time. :)
Best of luck, Shellie. I have my fingers and toes crossed, but crossing my toes makes it difficult to walk (try it sometime).
Charlie -
Lol - you never cease to crack me up.
No I haven't tried walking with my toes crossed but I have with a broken toe. It sucked!
Thanks a bunch. :)
Good Luck to you, Shellie! Very cool!
Krista -
Thanks! I had a dream about it a couple days ago with all the books I could down load....nice.
Good luck! It looks awesome.
Carol -
