I am so glad to see this thread. I saw on Amazon today the discounted Kindle DX 3G for $259.00. Of course my eyes are not what they once were and tire more easily. So, I was about to place an order for my first portable e-reader. And I still might. I do not know much about these devices other than reading all the reviews. The Kindle DX still garners some positive remarks especially for the size of the screen and also the size of the print for mags and periodicals. PDFs matter too. So, I will probably buy one and hope that Amazon is not planning to produce another large screen reader that renders the Kindle DX to the dust bin. If Amazon is walking away from the large screen reader than this reader should be usable for several more years. But it looks like Amazon is about to orphan the DX. Sad if this is true.
