And I think you can "live with" a 9.7'' screen, especially if you value paying much less for the DX. I find the Wacom stylus, expandable memory and folder organization invaluable, so the DX is not an option for me.

Your only reasons to hold off a purchase, IMHO, are:
1. iRex may drop its price.
2. Plastic logic might release a price lower than the DR.
3. Sony might announce a reader (possibly the same 9.7'' as the DX) with PDF support and memory expansion for much less than the DX.

Grimulkan, I think of my idea carefully, and I think also value he Wacom stylus, expandable memory and folder organization invaluable and the opened operating system and development environment.

I agree with your comments, "it may be worth the wait. Just don't wait too long!". I really set a watch window, as I have paid attention to DR for 7 months, almost from its release. I have seen how the firmware been improved and I think I trust irex after doing this. Now the end of my watch is very close (I never think there are so many potential products coming out though), I need to make my decision quickly.
