I made my decision after I learned that it is possible to install Duokan OS (dualboot) onto Kindle to get support for CHM, ePUB and broader PDF functions (zoom and bookmarks). I can not tell you about my experience yet, as I am still waiting for it to arrive from US.
I gave the DX a good thought, but it just does not cut it for me. The zoom is too clunky & mainly it does not support bookmarks navigation. I am mainly going to be reading programming books as well....

Cheers!
