What about scanned pdfs? I do not need annotating or something like that, I only need the pages to display properly.
If doukan makes the kindle dxg a good pdf and djvu reader, I'll be getting one, I have an ipad already; if not, then I'll go with the kindle 3.
Thanks a lot!

There are many places with good information about it, and I am not anyone good to ask, as I hardly have had time to use the DXG. The screen is twice as large (2,5x some say) which makes a huge difference. A pdf page sized for normal output on a printer, is too small to be read on a Kindle 3.
( It may be enlarged, but if text + pictures, it can be difficult to move around, etc. )
Amazingly you may use a magnifying glass, something you could not do on any other screen. ( even tested microscope )
Hmm... take a printout on a laserprinter of the kind of page you are interested in, but reduce it to half the size ( you may even use the correct dimensions of the two models ) and you will get a very good idea of what you are buying. I have only looked at a few samples of djvu, and it looked great. Of scanned material, I have read some Gutenberg pages which was nice enough, maybe a bit dark - you have to remember you don't have backlight screen, and you need reading light. Hope this answer some of your questions. Lack of Wifi was a drawback on DXG
