My pre-order is in. No case/cover yet; this'll be my PDF-format device, I am probably going to keep my K2 for its more convenient size.

As for lack of buttons on the left: I noticed, while watching the video demos, that the guy in the video frequently had the K-DX propped up against his legs or similar. Hmm. I'm ambidextrous (dominant southpaw, though) but I think I'll miss the left hand buttons too.

If I do get a travel case, it'll be like Belkin's neoprene sippered sleeve.

Fun!

If I keep my K2 (likely) than the Whispernet sync will come in REAL handy methinks! Here's a scenario: commute to home reading on the K2, get home & do the chores, dinner, etc. When it's time I can relax, curl up with the K-DX and resume where I left off. Neat. (Aside from having to turn wireless on for each device to sync, and then back off to preserve battery...)
