- a K3 processor in speed, but 1/2 the RAM (128 to 256 MB), which is 4 times the K2's 32 MB.
- K3 storage (4GB compared to the K2's 2 GB)
- K2 firmware
- K2-like cellular-only 3G radio.(no Wi-Fi)
- unique-to-DX right hand-only page turn buttons.
Very true, of course.

It was specifically the firmware side of things I was referring to, because it's the firmware that determines what you can actually do with the thing. The fact that the DX runs the older v2 firmware means that it can't be used to read KF8 books, and this (for me at least) is a significant issue.
