Ugh. Mine came with a totally inoperable wireless. Otherwise, it was like new, which is understandable if the previous customer(s) quickly returned it for this same defect.

With warehouse deals, there's no exchange, just a return and rebuy, which means I lose my 20% off, which comes to an additional $28 cost after tax, leading me to rethink this purchase, as it was originally a marginal buy for me.

Love the fuller page reading experience. I seem to be reading things that can be skimmed in much less time. Love the e-ink, it seems a more pleasant, softer reading experience than tablet reading of the same PDFs.

Cons I can see:
- it's heavy, such that I can't see holding it very long one-handed without any support (probably not more than a minute).
- don't like the right-handedness, due to the right side-only controls. Though that's easily corrected by flipping the DX 180 degrees.
- PDF text is a bit small to read easily in portrait, while perfectly acceptable in landscape (but losing that nice, full-page view). I wonder how much better kpdfviewer would be.
