In going back and reading my comments, I realized that they may have left you with the wrong impression
. I do know that all of us don't have the same needs, and I'm sorry that you ended up with a device that doesn't meet yours.
The reason I wrote was not to disagree with your thoughts or to belittle your situation. I see these message boards as also providing a record for others who are researching a new purchase. I wanted to establish the point that the K2 is still a current model, not one outdated by the DX. The point is that they serve two different purposes, and in some cases the K2 may be superior to the newer DX, in other cases -- not so much

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.
