And for that reason I would wait. I suspect we have not been shown any actual production units only pre-production units. We still have no idea if the DX is a glass or plastic substrate display. My money is on plastic as one of the target markets is on-the-go students w/backpacks. And they simply did not have any actual production units to show at the press conference, which was probably a rushed announcement in order to head off the potential competition from Hearst/PlasticLogic/Sony/B&N.
I would hate to return now only to find for some reason Amazon is going ahead with a far more fragile design than the up coming competition. Better to wait, see what comes out and then sell in order to buy, if it makes sense for my needs.
