Here are some observations about the Kindle DX:
Rendering is mostly OK, meaning the page is rendered quickly and accurately, but for certain pages, especially certain TOC pages, it can be slow, slower than the M91S, sometimes unbearably slow. For many, if not most, pages I've seen, the two devices are about equally fast. On the other hand, although I've only had the M91S for three days, I've already spotted two obvious rendering problems with two of the documents I have.
It fails to properly extract the Title and Author for many documents when showing a list of documents.
It fails to render certain images that the M91S has no problem with. This happened with one technical book I have. The rendered image is garbled.
It crops out white margin automatically. Sometimes, it is very aggressive about this for a page that is almost blank, and you get extra-large text. Not a big deal for me, better than not cropping at all. For documents that are just bitmap images, I don't expect margin cropping. It seems to display most bitmap documents fine, but I have one 300MB one for which it falls flat on its face, failing to render after the first few pages, with an error message. It could be the funky way in which that document was constructed, but the M91S had no problems with that document.
