I just wanted to comfortably be able to read *a lot* of material. And the kindleDXG does that.
I may put some pdfs on there manually (via cable), but I may also just email some to my kindle straight from a reference search. Since I have a laptop for writing and I'll use it for annotating any pdfs that I want to make notes on...the kindle is simply for power-reading. Plain and simple, reading for pleasure and high volume reading. I have my laptop for applications, games, and writing papers.

I'm glad you feel the same way. A lot of people thought I was crazy for not liking the Kindle. Guess I am not as crazy as I thought, I think.
