Agreed, I'm not expecting updates any more, but the DXG was still reasonably current when KF8 appeared (as much as the K3 was, anyway), and when the K3 got support for it, I hoped the DX would, too. And the K2 & DX aren't that different hardware-wise from the the K3, as the unofficial port of the 3.x firmware to the DX proves.

I love my new Aura HD, but I would love a frontlghted, hi-res 9.7" reader even more. So come on, Jeff, where is my 2400x1650 DXG II with frontlight? It doesn't even have to be a Carta screen. I'll make do with Pearl
