I realize this is a speculative matter because (insofar as I can tell) Amazon has released no information about a possibly forthcoming generation of the Kindle DX. But since I can't find any other posts on it, I'm wondering whether people have any thoughts on when it might be released, or if one will be released at all.

I don't yet own a Kindle, but am trying to decide whether to buy the K3 or plunk down for the DX. Trouble is I read mostly academic journals in PDF, which seem to be far too large for the K3, and yet the DX seems to be aging quickly and doesn't even have the same generation firmware/PDF reader the K3 has. If they simply released a new DX it would make the decision far easier on my end.

I'd appreciate any insight you may have!

Thanks.
