When o when will the price for the DX drop
Even with the iPad right around the corner it is impossible to get even an used DX for anything other than close to retail. I dont get it. Even the older US versions are demanding (and getting) almost $400 for it.
Perhaps after the iPad is out and available at stores I will be able to grab a DX that someone is trying to offload. |

If you don't mind used Kindle, I believe when IPad is released you will see a lot of used Kindle. But If you want to have a new one Hmm ... I don't know either. But I believe that Amazon will drop their Kindle price. Sony already done that with 30 USD on every models, why not Amazon.

Used is what I want. Have been looking for quite some time lol
Maybe I should just not get one. I guess I just want the bigger screen as a home reader and have the K2 for travel. |

Keep an eye on Craigs list - there were reports of K2's being dumped. Folks may start selling DX's to buy an iPad.

$400 seems eminently reasonably for a device with a 9.7" screen, given that top-end 6" devices (eg the BeBook Neo) are around $300.

The DX is still the most affordable 9.7 in. epaper device, with the next price step being an Irex DR 1000S 10.2 in. for $860 if I'm not mistaken. |

For me, I wanted something to read manga on, so the DX was the best choice. |
