Personally, I don't feel screwed a bit. The DX is not an upgraded model, it's a totally different model. I'm pleased with the portability of my K2 and I wouldn't want to give that up; it's ideal for my needs and I take it along on my travels, both in town and across the world.
The DX is designed for other needs and I expect to get one to fill those needs - it sure would be nice to replace stacks of reports in PDF format with a thin reader. And no, those reports will not fit on a 6" screen because they're full of figures and tables.
My point is that they're different models designed for different needs. One uses both laptop and desktop computers. So why not portable and not so portable eBook readers?
