Unless your vision is bad or poor, you can do basically the same with any of the most current Kiindle devices.

jocampo, I understand that you sold your DXG ~9 months ago because you were not happy with it and are now much happier with your 6 inch kindle. I think that's great.
However, while I respect your opinion, I don't think that many current DXG owners would agree with your advice. I think that most DXG owners simply use it as a very nice ebook reader, full stop. To me it's just like reading a nice big hardcover book compared to reading a small pocketbook using my K3. Not to say that you cannot enjoy both though.
I'm a fairly big guy (with good eyesight btw) and the extra weight of the DXG is no big deal. My wife, on the other hand, is quite a bit smaller and prefers the K3. I even offered to buy her one of these $259 DXG's for Xmas and she said she preferred her 'nice little K3'. So there you go, each to there own.
I think that if you are lucky enough to get one of these $259 DXG's you are going to be very happy with it. But if you don't like it you can always return it to Amazon anyway. Even if you sell it later, you are not likely to lose many $'s imho.
smariner, I do have a number of technical manuals (pdf's) and the as long as they are less than ~6mb file size they all work very well. If you are trying to use larger than +15mb pdf's I'd stick with an ipad because these start to get painfully slow and very large +30mb ones can crash the DXG (requiring a hard reset).
Cheers,
Tom
