Amazon and many other companies traditionally provide upgrades though the life of a product, introducing new features missing from the initial release and fixing bugs.

It is not at all unreasonable to expect that the Amazon's flagship reader will receive the same treatment, when their mass-market device is getting such updates.

Moreover, currently there are no alternatives if one wants a large-screen device, so not buying the DXG is akin to cutting off your nose to spite your face.

It just leaves a bitter taste in those who spent $400+ on their KDX, and I am sure many will remember it if alternatives emerge.

I know it's tough to figure out, but maybe because Amazon still sells the KDX, and because it's their flagship device....
