same here.. had a kindle DX for a year, recently got a nook touch... different uses (DX for pdfs / reference stuff, nook for gym + reading books /novels)
(also have a jetbook color, but that device's software isn't polished... sitting collecting dust right now)

Then there's the high cost of the screens and resultant high price, resulting in consumer complaints: "Where's the wi-fi? Where's the speed? Why so much for just a couple more inches?"

i've been pretty much abusing my DX a lot... dropped it countless times (back is all scratched up, corners have deep scratches, broke part of the edge)
eInk screen is semi scratched(not realy noticable when reading), though i have a small broken blob of eink at the bottom.....
kinda surprised how sturdy it is though...

Everyone who has a problem posts here, but satisfied users tend not to post at all.
I've had 8 or 10 different Kindles now, and not a defect in any of them.
Speed issues with the DX, yes.
