well for a lot of reasons really:

1.- Too propiertary. There are books which support a lot more formats.

2.- The pdf support is not the best. No links, no table of contenst. I have read it is quite slow.

3.- I do not really care about the touchscreen in a ereader as I said , but hey, if it is there, I am not going to tear it apart. Let's say it is secondary for me. But I do not like at all the kindle keyboard.

4.- No memory expansion. 2Gb is really little storage these days.

5.- I am right now in the UK. So with taxes and everything, the DX starts to be a little expensive. Other readers, however, I can have someone to buy in os a physical store in the States, and bring it here.

That's a humble opinion of course.

Anyway, can someone confirm that a 9.7 inches screen is enough to read a non-reflowable technical pdf book in portrait mode confortably?

Thanks
