I am not. And I won't, look in the Kindle hacks section... The Kindle 3 firmware can be installed on the DX, there's even a custom rom on the web.

How is going to the menu to select annotation tools every time an improvement when you still want to use your pen for other things like dictionary? On the Onyx platform, you can EITHER lookup in dictionary OR highlight (selected from a menu, one click away), and then you will have to use the cursor to navigate the page. They are best evenly annoying.
Plus, what this lady in the video demonstrated is untypical use for such a small screen, you know that yourself. Read in landscape orientation, you have a bigger page, less lines to browse and moreover, you can just let the cursor follow the text, something she hasn't figured out.

You'd better have a closer look at the Onyx reader before you buy, it might turn out that you could have saved a lot of money and done a lot for the environment if you printed everything out in the first place. Try the tool briss to bring your pages into a size suitable for two-page printing even larger page formats and off you go. 100 pages is probably 5 bucks on a home laser printer, so you could read 14000 pages of your ebooks until next year...
