I own both. I only use the Kindle DXG. The Kindle 6" is not suitable for my reading needs (reading technical PDFs, scanned textbooks, engineering papers, scientific papers, etc). Reading these PDF documents on a 6" display is not comfortable. Now, as far as Kindle content is concerned, the larger display of the DXG gives you more text on the display. The 6" reader displays Kindle content well but there is less room on the display. PDFs don't display well on the 6". For PDFs, you need the DXG. The DXG is noticeably heavier than the 6" Kindle and less portable. For my needs, however, the DXG is the way to go. The documents I read require the larger screen of the DXG.
