Based on your stated reasons, sure, WTF buy now. It would be super to have a nice large format EPD display device now. And if you don't need color, you already have the iPad so that's covered, then the DXG is not a bad device to own...
I'm waiting for plastic and color...don't have a pressing need for a device now so no need to buy now. The DXG is nice but I was disappointed Amazon still left out a way to operate the reader left handed. I am right-handed but have to use my left hand very often because of physical stuff. This, even over price, might be my biggest reason for NOT selling my K2i to get a DXG. FYI, I have RA that affects my hands so handling matters a lot to me, more than most folks. Still, I remember how often I read holding a book left handed while taking notes with my right hand. Sure you can rotate the display 180º but having the keyboard above the panel just bugs me for some reason, even on my K2i my pea brain refuses to get used to it...hehehehe....
But at the current price the DXG is a nice device but who knows what will come with the next gen devices this fall.
And no please don't drag out that tired old "...there is always something coming out..." while true, for me I see no compelling large format device. If Amazon had dropped the DXG to $279 I would have sold my K2i instantly and picked up a DGX because for that price I can begin purchasing some of my references and use them. They don't look worth a darn on a 6" panel though...bummer.
