Hopefully when the kindle 3 is out they will make the upgrade available for the DX version, and I don't see why they wouldn't, but I understand nothing is for certain.

Interesting...I guess I wouldn't get the import fees deposit back (I'm in France), but still that's pretty nice to have the possibility to test it for 30 days.

Unfortunately, my birthday is too far away for my patience to bear (not sure that was correct English).

I could afford buying the DXG right now, even though I think it's a bit pricey (twice as much as the kindle 3G + wifi...and i would have to get a cover too).
I could use the large screen for some scans of comics, but I could also live without it...So I wonder if it's worth spending the extra money. Reading the replies of this thread, it seems people having the DXG still want the kindle 3, even get rid of the DX / DXG maybe ? Makes me think the big screen is not that much of an advantage if you don't really need it.
But the 30 days return policy is tempting...

Thanks everybody for the replies by the way !
