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!
