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.
+1. Such a large display, if made of glass, would be very fragile.


Also bear in mind that the DX is not ideal for novels.
So far I didn't saw on any videos the ability to display novels on two column ; A single column of text with a reasonable font size produce lines that are far too long for good readability (You can watch Amazon video on the DX product page to see what I mean). Double column display would be much more confortable.


And perhaps Amazon will upgrade the K2 for reflowable PDF support, if there is a lot of demands for it.
It's possible and for example of the PRS-505 while the result is not perfect, it's quite decent and by experience always better than using a converter (and you save a lot of time).
