The original green case for my Scribe is thinner and more fragile than the cover of the DXG. However, there will probably be better cases offered by other vendors in the future.
One of the maintenance chores that e-reader owners have to do is replacing the lithium batteries. I did that for the DXG, and will likely do that for one of my Kindle 3 w/Keyboard readers. A DXG owner can likely get away with not upgrading immediately to a Scribe (in 2023), provided they use workarounds. You can still sideload most purchased books, where they allow you to download AZW files (which you can convert to Mobi, as needed).
The big question any purchaser of a large screen reading device needs to ask is whether they need a color display (for graphic novels, art books, etc.). Of course, the ability to annotate may trump that feature.
