For me the larger screen was worth it. I have had a K1 since October 2008 and knew that I would prefer the larger screen on the DX. I was concerned about the weight until I had the oppertunity to handle my Mom's DX. After that I was waiting for a price drop.

I am not the nly one in my family to prefer the DX screen, my brother upgraded from a K2 to the DX because he prefers the larger screen. I bought my Mom her DX because I thought the larger screen would be better for my 70 year old Mother then the smaller screen. She has had no problems with the weight.

If the DX had been available when I was in graduate school I would have bought one in a heartbeat. It would have been better then carrying around the reams of paper wasted on PDFs I had to print out.

ETA: On the space issue. I don't put music or audio books on my Kindle so I cannot speak to that. When I was preparing for a two week trip overseas with my K1, I maxed out the memory but I was carrying 300 books. My DXG hold 3,500 books. I guess I figure I can find something to read with 300 books at my fingertips and if not, I can always download something new using the 3G or the USB cord.
