To add a little weight on the side of the full size edge. I started out with the kindle DX because of the screen size and my need to read PDF manuals. When I discovered the edge I went for the full size one, again because of the ability to read PDF manuals - in fact it is much better at it than the DX.
I have seen one of the pocket edges and there is no way I would buy one while I have my EE and if that broke down I think I would try and see if it was possible to get a replacement from Russia where they atr running trials of them for educational use.
For some people the weight of the EE (1.45 kg - 3.2 lb) could be a problem but with all things I carry about to various jobs I don't notice it. In fact in a number of situations I don't have to carry my large laptop so it is a nett weight reduction.
