I am thrilled about buying something sooo old!!! Got a new boxed (not refurbished) one from ebay for $224. Arrived in two days.
Always wanted one (only for books), but never made the leap due to price. Missed out on last year's offering at $199. Wasn't aware the DXG made another appearance.
Installed the jailbreak and screensaver hacks. Nice having the cover of last book opened showing when device is sleep. Yes, the firmware is outdated, but this thing is a pleasure to read on (dark font). Non-fiction books that are not plainly formatted, with tables, charts, and graphs are well displayed, and capture the feel of a printed book with the large screen. Even reading fiction is enjoyable for me, with less page turns. 150 ppi sounds appalling, but it works on the large screen. I use the 2nd smallest font size.
I am glad to trade the portability of my PW3 for the DXG, as I always have a bag with me. Seriously considering grabbing another one from this seller (there are 2 left). After experiencing this, I don't want to go back to a tablet for large screen reading. Seems this size e-ink screen has gone the way of the Dodo Bird.
