Just because I haven't replied, doesn't mean I'm not watching.
I haven't bought anything yet, so the DX is still on my shortlist. The alternatives are a tablet with TFT screen - which I don't especially want to do, reading on a backlit screen isn't great - or a modern reader that's both smaller and many times more expensive.
An OLED tablet would also be an option, and there are a couple of (relatively) inexpensive ones available. Still several times more expensive than a DX.
So again, still weighing my options, and I'm happy to see more DX owners chipping in first-hand information.

Regarding batteries: my previous phone was a Motorola xt1254 "Turbo". Original batteries for it are 7 years old now, "new" batteries are at least 5, all have degraded by unacceptably large amounts.
The only real option for a replacement is to get a similar-dimension battery from a newer phone and solder the xt1254's battery protection board to its tabs --- which I did to get a bit more life out of the phone before treating myself to a used V30.
I'd probably do something similar with the DX if I were to get one; just find a modern phone battery and adapt it.
