I'm not a DX owner but I love my K2 and was looking at buying a DX recently. I just wanted something with a larger screen so reading PDFs wasn't so uncomfortable. Just looking at Amazon's pages on the DXG, I assumed it was a big version of the K3. That's how it was pitched, IMHO. When I looked further into it, I realized that the DXG is basically a large K2 with a dark cover and better screen. When I looked further than that and found that the K3 has better pdf functionality even though reading pdfs is probably the biggest selling point of the DXG, I decided to hold off on the purchase.
It just seems silly to me that you would not cater to a products greatest strength. The DXG should be at least as capable as the K3 at reading pdf files. That it's not tells me Amazon doesn't care about the DXG. It looks to me like the DXG will only get the same support as my K2 at this point, which I personally consider unacceptable for a product they are still actively selling new.
It's not that I continue to expect new functionality. It's just that I expect Amazon to at least attempt to keep the functionality of all currently-produced Kindles more or less equal. That they don't is alarming enough for me to skip the DXG and look for other options. You can call me unreasonable if you'd like, but I got the impression from Amazon's literature that the DXG was a big K3 which it very much is not.
