Since we could only pick 3, I did. I picked ePub, API/SDK, and other.

The problem with the DX as it stands is it is too expensive for what it can actually do. It's reflowable format is Mobipocket. They should have added ePub. That would have worked quite nicely. PDF is ok for some things, but for a proper format, ePub is needed. Might as well add in MS Reader while you are at it and then add in folder. What's good with 3500 books if you cannot organize them? To be honest, I do see someone else coming out with a 9.7" screen that will be better then the DX due to better software and/or hardware.
