I suppose they could have announced a bigger one was coming. But at the same time, people who wanted a larger reader that could do PDFs better etc. were silly to buy a K1 or K2.
Why buy something that doesn't do what you want it to do? There's no point in early adopting technology if it doesn't meet your needs.
The DX isn't an improvement for me at all since I only use ereaders for reading regular books, and have no interest in newspapers, magazines, pdfs etc. on an ereader. So a K1/K2 was ideal for me. But if I'd wanted to do those other things, I'd have held off. And I'd still be holding off as $498 is too much for me when I can just read newspapers and magazines online for free and prefer printouts of pdfs since I mark them up heavily.
I got a used K1 for $200 around the K2 launch and have no plans to upgrade anytime soon. For just leisure reading of regular books it does everything I need.
