Hi kovan, welcome to mobileread!

I want to duck out of giving a clear answer to your question because I only know the Pocketbook 902 from experience. But maybe I can help with a few remarks.

- I'm satisfied with my PB902. It opened every file I ever gave it. You can search inside the pdf-files and you can use the dictionary there. The zooming options work allright for me but I've read others had some problems with them. You can decide between two pdf readers, the one from Adobe and pdfviewer.
Problems? Sometimes the letters are not black or dark grey but simply grey which leads to a low contrast and the letters are a little bit difficult to read. Of course this depends on the files but you can't change anything there.

- How important is note taking for you? This would reduce your choices to the PB903 and Onyx M90 who come with a wacom touch screen and a pen (I don't know how this functions with the Kindle DXG and its keyboard.) But it does function far from perfectly.

- If note taking is not important for you, there is another Onyx reader, the Onyx M91. He doesn't have the wacom screen and pen but a better processor than the M90 and a pearl screen (and is not so expensive).

- How important is other reading stuff or the shop behind for you? With the Kindle DXG you have all the Amazon books and free mobi stuff, with the other readers you have the whole ePub world. And both the Onyx and the Pocketbook devices read the most number of file formats among all eink devices.
