So far as I know, the Kindle 3 and DX are the only E Ink Reader devices that search across your entire library. So this might be the "killer feature" for you. It does this by pre-indexing every new ebook you copy to the device. Note that only the metadata from PDFs is included in the "all content" search. You can search within a open PDF ebook, assuming it is text (as opposed to images).

All your notes are stored in a plain text file, and also on Amazon's servers. The manual says that you can add to your notes from a PC by copying the notes text file over to the PC via USB, editing it, and copying it back. This sounds a little dangerous to me, but it does get around the difficultly in typing in long notes on the Kindle.
