I've been using both Kindle DXG and DX (lower 7:1 contrast compared to 10:1 on DXG) for reading pdf/djvu/cbz books outdoors all these years.

But only because there was KPV reader (non-touch version of Koreader) with all the necessary pdf reading options available therein (many zooming/cropping options, font darkening, bookmarks, links, folders/subfolders etc.).

So, installing KPV is the first thing every owner of Kindle DX should do.

We can even normally read those demanding pdfs from archive.org site that are very slow to flip through on many lcd tablets/notebooks because of their compression method implemented, but we need to change pdf compression beforehand, either by simply creating a new pdf as exported uncompressed images (10 x bigger in MB size but a lot quicker to flip through), or by using Adobe Acrobat's Clearscan OCR mode for both a lot smaller pdf size and a lot quicker page flipping, or by using K2pdfopt app for DX's b/w screen resolution & size.
