The DXG screen is fine, but with reading glasses, it's inferior even for PDFs to the Kobo Aura H2O original.

The DXG comes apart easily to replace a battery, as does a Kindle Keyboard. I don't know how easy the original DX is to open.

I use a horrible 10" LCD tablet for PDFs, Kobo Aura H2O original at home and the Sony PRS350 when travelling.

I'm tempted to a 10" approx eink at under £300 for PDFs. The 7" to 8" sizes are not enough of change of screen to my 6.8" kobo.

I gave my Kindle DXG 3G to someone with Macular degeneration and got one of the last PW3 last November and a Kindle Keyboard (same last official FW level as the DXG,) simply to compatibility test mobi, dual mobi and azw I write/create as well as have a valid serial number to convert Amazon purchases that aren't on Smashwords to epub. I read all my Amazon books on my PRS350 and/or H2O.
I have a Nook Simple Touch, a Kobo Touch (horrible ghosting screen) and phone apps for testing ePubs too. There is an ePub validator and desktop viewers, but certain issues of font sizes, images and layouts are only obvious using a wide variety of real devices.

Anyone still use Palm Pilots or the related pdb app on Win CE devices or other PDAs for ereading?
