Currently, I use my iPod in my classroom to hold in my hand as I write on the board. I have a Kindle 3 and it is fantastic but too small to read my PDF files, especially due to the Math functions I need to use. I did some searching on this site but since I can't search for "DX" (too few letters), I am probably missing some good information. Reading some comments on other sites, it seems that the DX is not really a new model but the Kindle 2 in a bigger package. Is this a problem? Any word if Amazon is planning to come out with a new model?
Will the Kindle DX be of use to me? Is it worth buying for the reduced price? Any information would be appreciated.

Careful with fake devices!!! If it is too good to be true or too cheap, could be fake.
Now, I had a Kindle DXG before. Love it, but got tired of waiting for firmware upgrades. The lack of PDF annotations and the slow page turn, made me sell it.
I own an iPad2 and is great as PDF reader, using GoodReader app.
Save som bucks and buy a used iPad1. It will be faster and better with PDFs files plus will allow you to read magazines or any text or book with color.
