Amazon does not seem to be planning on adding these features to the dx (or at least not this version of the dx), probably because it has less RAM, I believe. Also, it can only zoom to preset values (150%, 200%, etc.)- although the K3 has this shortcoming also. Neither of them support links or table of contents.
One thing that it does do, however, is to automatically crop the margins off of pdfs- this even works on scanned (image) pdfs, not just text ones.
Finally, one last note. I don't know what sort of documents you're working with (whether or not there'll be a lot of math equations in them), but a lot of viewers on many devices have problems with the letter beta from latex files: this affects the kindles, the adobe pdfviewer on the pocketbook, the sony readers, and the entourage edge. If you're someone who reads a lot of math or physics journal papers, this can be a problem.

Thanks a lot for the reply physics
Well I don't plan to read math and stuff, I need it for reading software dev books...
Lack of table of contents is a major short coming.
Guess if its treating it like scanned images, then i won't able to search keywords, either
Its an absolute must
I was more keen on getting the kindle over nook/ipad because of the better battery life..
Does anybody know if pocketreader 903 will support table of contents and searching?
