I love my DX too, except it's a tad too heavy.

I often wondered about e-reader manufacturers' fixation with 6" e-ink screen. A 7 to 8 inch reader would be so much better for reading. Kobo Aura HD has a 6.8" screen. While it is good, there's a huge space wasted for the bottom margin that it actually holds less text per screen, compared to Kindle paperwhite.
