Well, in my case, the only thing that's gonna stop me from ordering a kindle DX is a Sony device of about the same screen size...
A screen as big as 9.7" would be handy in reading PDFs, and save me a lot of trouble of file conversion. It would also be wonderful for Chinese books which have vertical lines. I've scanned a few such Chinese books and put them into a prs-500. Recognising the scanned pages into txt is just impossible because the recognition rate for Chinese characters is really poor. So I printed them as PDFs instead. Readable, but the tiny characters are really a big put-off...
I hope Sony would launch its own big screen device with built-in dictionary, and price it at $100 or so less than Kindle DX. Are you hearing me Sony~
