IMHO, Kindle DX is still a very poor substitute for laptop.
You're suggest the laptop can substitute as an ereader. But it can't, because it doesn't have the battery life, and long-term reading on one can cause eyestrain.

So you're carrying a laptop around whether you have physical books or an ebook reader.
