This is what has people who bought the DXG like myself angry. We want new features like browser/PDF because we spent 400$ on a device for new screen (that's all they changed over DX) and they refuse to release our firmware because of the K3, which I have absolutely no desire in ever buying. I'd rather wait for hacked firmware than get a K3, or a future model, or none at all.
DX and K lines are essentially 2 parallel product lines, I don't know why amazon is being ignorant.
DX was released with K2, and then DXG with K3, more or less. The technology is very close, and so is the time frame, it only makes sense that the features be comparable. Obviously the hardware supports software going all the way back to the K1, but amazon is going to have to draw the line somewhere to spike new sales.
I really hope they are planning something extraordinary for the DX like a superb PDF reader with reflow and annotations and smooth-scrolling/text darkening and font substitution. However, I really think that they would rather abandon the DX lines as the K lines will always see more sales just because of the price tag.
