1. Better PDF support. K3 level would be nice. Bookmarks and Table of Contents would be better.
2. Touch. I was *really* hoping for this one. I don't use the keyboard that often, and when I do it's a pain. A bigger pain is using the little joystick to select a link or word in a book. How much better would it be to just use my finger to point to the place I want on the big beautiful screen? Not to mention lighter and smaller not having to drag that stupid keyboard around.
3. WiFi. Especially as Amazon gives WiFi privileges for free book delivery and library books. Not to mention if I should not be in range of their cell towers.
4. SD Slot. I'm dreaming here. The WiFi thing should solve this but really? No slot in this day and age? (Actually, I can kinda see why, but I'm still annoyed by it.) Still, I've lived without it this long more easily then I would have expected.
absolutely in agreement with your observations. Though i have ipad , i prefer kindle dx for prolong reading, didn't buy DXG as i was waiting for new Dx touch version.today's announcements were disappointing as nothing new has been announced which is not available in the market however there is no proper substitute for Dx in the market.
