Only the new Kindles currently have the Pearl screen, which gives them a hardware advantage. The Kindle 3 firmware is now competitive with the best alternatives, although PocketBook, for example, provides more customization options. It is also likely that the Kindle DX will get the Kindle 3 firmware improvements (e.g. choice of 3 fonts and full screen mode with no header). If not, it is already possible to hack the device to switch to a different font.

Overall, it is hard to argue against the KDX for reading if you don't mind its size and weight.
