I cancelled my KDX order and will see what the 902/903 looks like. From what's know right now they are better than the KDX.

But will they come with pearl screens??? I guess no. LCD i guess and that is not quite an ereader but a tablet. Will they come with plastic eInk screens as they stated a year ago? Those screens are still not available in bulk and I dunno about contrast of those screens. I doubt they will be less than $400. They advertised them in about $500-$800 range before. The cost to manufacture good big ereader is still very high I guess. Amazon doesn't care about the cost of ereaders, it makes its revenue from selling books and subscriptions. And what about PocketBook? They can't sell their products below the cost. Plastic Logic failed, IREX failed. I hope Amazon monopoly will be destroyed soon, but I ve already waited too long for good ereader trying smaller ones. I ll give a try to DX. Well it comes with 30 days return policy anyway
I guess in about two years we gonna laugh reading our old posts. Ereader's war has just begun and the prices will go much lower.
