I wonder what on earth a new one could offer though? The current gen already has a pearl e-ink screen. Most of the DX Graphite's deficiencies seem to be software-related.

The DXG is great for regular books, but when talking about PDFs .... not the best. Even the Kindle 3, which is cheaper and smaller, has better PDF features. |

Well, if the k3 has better PDF features, I hate to think how bad they are on the DX. No reflow, no zoom except by huge increments.
Unfortunately, PDF is just not a priority for Amazon. |

So tell me, why does a 9,7 inch device need features like reflow and many zoom increments?

Great news anyway.
This must mean the new model will be coming soon, I think. |

Hey, can't wait, another $400 model that Amazon won't update at all is coming!
they suckered me in once with the DXG, they won't do it again. Say NO to DX! Polbit |

I thought this discount was going to be permanent. |
