At the risk of stating the obvious, I'd propose that all the Kindle DX needs, is to do whatever it takes to get lighter. As it is, it's half a pound lighter than the iPad and the same weight as the nookcolor, though it has a larger screen. If Wifi gets it lighter, do it. If you have to drop the keyboard and use a touch screen then do that. Whatever it takes.

It would be nice to have such things as Wifi, an SD card reader and a better PDF rendering engine, maybe they're essential, but if Amazon can get it lighter it will blow away the competition even in the tablet category where book readers and internet connectivity are merging.
