Ok...I'm kind of reconsidering the DXG since there are people advising against it.

First off, I wanted to get the kindle instead of an ipad or another tablet thing, because I would only want to use it for reading pdfs especially of mangas and comic books. (This is why I want the DXG instead of the regular kindle 3 because of the large screen).

Also I have heard that reading on the kindle is much easier on the eyes than on the computer, and since I want to read my pdfs for at least an hour or so without straining my eyes, I don't think the ipad will help that right? (please correct me if I'm wrong). That's one of the biggest issues. If I want to read on an LED screen, I might as well read off my laptop, which is the reason I would get a kindle.

So for this I was just hoping to get the dxg for my manga and black and white books until the new kindle comes out.

For those of you who are saying I shouldn't buy a dxg because the lack of pdf support, what are some specific issues that I might have with the dxg that the kindle 3 or the ipad fixes?
