Do a few searches on the DXG and you'll get lots of opinions.
I have a K3, K4, and DXG (all non-hacked btw). I've owned my DXG for almost 2 years now and it is still my favorite E-book reader. It handles technical reference PDF's that I like to carry around very well. I don't really notice the difference in page-turn flashrates. Text to speech sounds the same as my K3 (don't use it much anyway, and don't use audiobooks).
I have always housed my DXG in a standard Amazon leather cover and it works fine. When I travel I house the DXG (w/cover) in a 10 inch netbook case. I've found that the unlimited 3G has been very handy when travelling.
Really comes down to whether you'd enjoy a large-screen E-book reader or not. If you are happy with your 6 inch readers (like my wife is) then I'd just stick with them.
The DXG w/cover at $299 seems like a very good price imho.
