The attitudes of a lot of people on this site are ridiculous. The DXG is advertised as the more expensive version of the K3. If you bother to check Amazon's website you will see that the K3 wifi, K3 3G, and DXG are all marketed together, and compared with each other in a Kindle Comparison table. The comparison table clearly markets the DXG as the premium device on the right of the table, while the K3 wifi is presented on the left of the table as the cheapest and less advanced model. Amazon has clearly hidden the differences in hardware between devices, and it does not state that the devices actually operate different firmware versions, or that the DXG is exempt from future updates and enhancements. The device is misrepresented on Amazon.com and consumers are fraudulently being led to believe that they are purchasing a product of higher quality than it actually is!
It is true that BBC's Watchdog will not have interest in this issue as the DXG is not sold in the UK. I live in Australia and have currently filed a complaint with America's Federal Trade Commision, and I suggest that all other Kindle DXG owners do the same!
