While I think Amazon should do a bit more to help users of the Kindle DX, I'm not entirely sure that your complaint can go anywhere.

1) Amazon hasn't promised any new updates or features for the Kindle DX. If they had, then you would definitely have a strong argument.

2) The Kindle DX hardware isn't as advanced as the Kindle (3rd Generation). The Kindle 3 renders PDFs pretty slowly. The Kindle DX with fewer resources having to fill a bigger screen would no doubt be worse.

I'd also note that (as far as I know) Amazon UK doesn't even sell the Kindle DX, so that might limit the interest of Watchdog.
