I know the DX has a large screen, which is what I prefer; but I also see that the new kindle 3 has much better PDF options like highlight and annotation?

Am I correct on this? Do you guys know (for sure) if Amazon will update the DX in the very near future? or would Amazon release a software update that will bring all the new features of Kindle 3 to the DX?

If so, I think i'm gonna order a DX immediately b/c I need to start reading those books since my exams are coming up!

and I found that those ebooks (textbooks) are cheaper than their paper versions

Thanks
If you really want a kindle, buy DX, you can't really read those big books with 6 inch kindle.
If you are willing to explore other options, then check out pixel qi before buying a kindle: http://www.pixelqi.com/products
