Count off! How many DXs are out there?
Color me a skeptic (not cracks from you, sirbruce!), and I know that the mob here is just a tiny slice of the Kindle world, but now that Amazon has sold 'both' of their DXs and they're out of stock (big shock there!), how many in the forum actually have one in their greedy little paws?

Got mine on Thursday. I may give my iLiad to my fiancee... if she'll take it! Actually, my fiancee loved the iLiad when I loaned it to her preivously, but I'll probably use the iLiad for hobby hacking. My DX is now my full-time e-reader.

Received mine on Friday... debating on whether or not to keep the K1 because I enjoy reading everything (PDFs, AZWs, MOBIs, etc.) on the DX so much.

Mine will be delivered tomorrow, but out of town on vacation so I won't get to play until Wednesday evening.

*colors* There, you're a skep.... awww, man! You're no fun any more.
Anyway, yes, I got my DX on Thursday. I guess I need to buy a used Kindle 1 just so I can complete the family! Last edited by sirbruce; 06-15-2009 at 04:10 PM. |

Judging by the number of reviews and votes for the DX, I suspect the number of sales must be fairly low -- especially compared to the K2. |

Got mine on the 11th. Have not been able to put it down. I guess my PRS505 is relegated to emergency backup. Disagree with Mossberg's review. I did not particularly like the K1 or K2 (no offense to its owners just liked the contrast on the PRS505 better). However the DX is fantastic. The extra screen and memory real estate is great and makes reading a lot more pleasurable. I don't find the slight additional weight a problem at all.

Mine on Thursday.
When I'm just reading, I love it. When I'm doing anything else, it ticks me off. |
