I signed up for a DX on preorder.

I have had first and second generation Sony readers, so I didn't see a need to purchase a similar device with an identical screen (and quite a bit uglier, sorry). Even though the wireless aspects were pretty cool. BUT with this Kindle DX's big screen I can totally justify using this to manage the hundreds of forms and procedures we use at work without having to boot a laptop or carry a raft of documents.

I'm just hoping the search isn't too bog slow. I read on Wikipedia it only does root text searches, not full text searches.

Regards,

Matt
