Guys,

As many of you know, I ordered a Kindle DXG yesterday. Then the new Kindle was released with the new PDF functionality. I have been trying to get a hold of someone at Amazon who could answer the question if the DXG would get the same functionality of the new Kindle via updates. After several tries, I finally got hold of a supervisor. I told her I had just ordered a Kindle DXG and wanted to know if the new PDF features would be added to the DXG. If not I wanted to cancel my order. She put me on hold for 30 minutes until I finanlly got to speak to a gentleman who after putting me on hold for anouther 20 minutes confirmed that yes, the new features will be available for the DXG as well. He did not have an exact time frame for it but he assurred me "the information I just got for you right now has come from ver reliable sources so yes, itis a done deal". The gentleman appeared very honest and even gave me his contact information if I had any more questions and concerns.

I just wanted to give you DX Graphite owners a heads up on this.
