I have bought Kindle DXG to read my hundreds manuals, whitepapers, tech reports, etc. available only in PDF (currently 800+, half more are still waiting for upload). Kindle DXG has a decent large screen so one can read PDFs without any problem. But Kindle DXG PDF support is extremely limited (worse than Kindle 3!) - you get only equivalent of sheet of paper. No links, ToC, indexes, etc. Also dictionary, T2S and annotations are not available. If you need to store hundreds of PDFs you will have a lot of troubles with organizing them - there is no content management at all (Collections are almost unusable, you may use some external software made by Kindle users, search the forum for collection manager, but it is poor workaround rather than a solution).
Amazon made excellent piece of hardware for PDF reading but bundled it with useless firmware and sold at high price.
