I second those thoughts. Although I like the newest and latest stuff, I just bought a new K2, not a DX (preorder). The DX size is not as convenient when it comes to reading in bed or lounging on the couch. Furthermore, I expect the DX screen to be fairly fragile. Without a flexible screen, I think you will hear a lot about breakage on these things. It may be fine if you are using it at work on a desk, but not really the thing for casual reading.
On the other hand, I don't really recommend any of the 6 inch readers for pdf's. If you are reading technical documents or textbooks you
must have a larger screen.
For me its like buying a new Prius and then seeing them announce a new hybrid mini-van. They may both be hybrid, but a Prius won't fit the bill if you really needed a mini-van.
