I'm not entirely sure about that. I did some searching for parts, and basically the Kindle DX uses the ED097OC1 screen while the DXG uses the ED097OC4. Yes they are different, but when I looked through Chinese shops, a lot of sellers try and sell the crappier ED097OC1 screens as Kindle DXG screens. I don't know if that is because they can get away with it, as the screen would work, or if this is negligence?
