Although I think that it's VERY unlikely, I do wish that the dx will be able to use the new format (assuming, as I've read elsewhere, that it improves the handling of math equations). I purchased my dx primarily for reading physics books and journal papers, but the first hasn't turned out so well. Amazon appears to have done some sort of OCR on equations in most physics books, which butchers them beyond recognition. This, of course, makes the book worthless. (Sometimes SOME of the equations are embedded as images- but never all of them.)
Because of this, I haven't purchased any books for my dx, which I'm sure isn't what Amazon wanted. I've downloaded free samples of about 2 dozen physics books, none of which were usable. I complained about them, about a dozen or so were actually pulled from Amazon. If the equations were correct, so that the books would be usable, I would actually purchase them, which would be a win for Amazon. But, since the dx is effectively abandoned, I'm not holding my breath.
(And, in case anyone is wondering, I don't really want to "upgrade" to a 6-inch Kindle, because I use my Kindle for reading research papers, which are pdfs. My poor eyes just can't handle the pdf on the 6 inch screen.)
