You're right - I use 2x24" monitors in my desktop, but nothing beat e-Ink for battery life and eyes comfort. I think DXG is suitable for PDFs - if you want to be mobile and to read comfortable for your eyes. I am a professor (IT and Engineering) and I read many documents in PDF - on my desktop but I also read 2-3 hours a day my Kindle 2 (not PDFs of course - many titles or so is just text only or drafts - I strip the graphics before transfer/convert to my Kindle). Of course I have a 15.4" laptop with 1680x1050 nonglare screen too - it is suitable for PDFs.
