M_Agnum,
Great review. I have the older DX and have always been struck by what I felt was a big difference over my Kindle 2 in that it's so vivid and, in my cae, the fonts seem uniformly darker and more solid than the thinner fonts of my K2 (which is a good one as other K2s seem, in photos, to be considerably less dark, probably due to variation of e-ink settings at the factory apparently changable by firmware settings as some seem to have been corrected with firmware version 2.5.x).

In any case, I have photos of my older DX at http://bit.ly/dxpics and wonder how these seem to you, relative to the Graphite you bought. I've seen pictures of other DX's the fonts of which seem less vivid to me and then there are other other older DX's that look pretty good even against the Graphite in photo comparisons except there is less contrast between the background and foreground when you see them together, which I guess is due to blacker blacks and minimally lighter background from what I can see in photos.

Thanks for your review, which is so thorough on PDF viewing.
