Three different versions were planned:

• DR1000 (without touchscreen)
• DR1000S (with touchscreen)
• DR1000SW (with touchscreen and Wi-Fi & Bluetooth connectivity)

The DR1000 has an internal memory of 128MB, and ships with a 1GB SD card. The manufacturer indicated that this can store up to 1,000 documents or pictures. The S and SW models have touchscreens compatible with Wacom styluses.

The iRex DR1000 can display various text formats including PDF, TXT, HTML and Mobi. In addition, it can display images in BMP, GIF, JPEG, PNG and TIFF formats.^[2]

The DR1000 was originally marketed as able to "last days" on a single battery charge, while users reported battery life of 12 hours at most. The "days" statement was removed from the IRex product page around the time that version 1.5 of the device firmware was released.^{[citation needed]}
