I *had* both, but I gave my K2 to my daughter when she broke her screen, so I've been reading 100% on DXG for a couple of weeks and will be until my K3 arrives.

I like reading on the DX, but it does get a little heavy for me during long reading sessions, and I find myself wishing for the smaller, lighter device. I flip the orientation often (so that the page turn buttons are on the opposite side) to give my weight-bearing hand a break, but my hands and wrists still get tired. I have small hands, so maybe man-sized hands don't have the same experience.

Still, I *could* go 100% DX, if I had to, but I absolutely could not go 100% with a 6" screen. I have a lot of PDF files and most of them simply don't work for me on a regular Kindle. (Zoom and pan is fine for quickly looking at a one section of a schematic, but it's a beyotch to try to read something that way). I imagine that when K3 arrives, I will bounce back and forth between the two fairly evenly, using K3 for basic reading while reserving the DX for PDFs and books with tables, charts, and graphics.
