It's really about the size of my iPad. I find it perfectly useable. Think reading a paperback va a hardcover. Which do you prefer? On the kindle 2 I found myself making the text very small in order to fit enough on a page. On the dx I can have it a few sizes larger and still fit over twice as much on the screen. It really is almost identical to the hardcover / paperback. I always liked reading hardcovers or large paperbacks. The weight is not an issue to me at all. Both are very easy to handle.
