Irex_iliadWhat’s better than a device that does one thing really, really well? The same device with added capabilities, right? That’s what a few iRex Iliad book reader owners at Mobile Read seem to think, as they just turned their standalone reader into a standalone reader and web browser! From the factory, the Iliad only uses and maintains Internet connectivity for a very short time and for one specific purpose; to connect to the Rex site. Some enterprising device owners put a little hack together with a PDF file and some http for an address bar and they’re now surfing the web as long they like on the Iliad. Just goes to show you what a little knowledge and desire will get you; nice work gang!
