They got me at the cheap price (and the cheap official leather cover, $189 + just $9.99), so I pulled the trigger on it. As a regular e-ink reader, it is wonderful, just plain no complaints great. As a PDF reader, well, there are some issues but I can see it still being more useful for the purpose than a regular e-ink Kindle.

I wrote a review on it and took a couple of photos, here is the Kindle DX in the middle, a Kindle 2 on the left and Kindle 3 Keyboard on the right:

That's a superb review on Kboards.com, and a wonderful piece of writing.

I disagree that it is a bit large for getting lost in fiction since - for me, anyway - it's that exact largeness that allows me to feel like I'm actually reading or holding a hardback.

Thank you for your excellent thoughts on our 'abandoned' Kindle.
