Lately I've been mostly reading while on the treadmill, and I think the KDX might be too unwieldy for that. I'm also annoying they removed the buttons on the left side; this means I can't just switch hands every few minutes when the other one gets tired.
So I may wind up using the KDX only to read PDFs at home. We'll see.

A large-screen device certainly isn't a replacement for a 6" reader when it comes to portability. Like your K2, I carry my CyBook with me everywhere I go. It's comfortable to hold one-handed, and I can use it pretty much anywhere.
My iRex DR1000 is completely different. It needs two hands to comfortably hold and use (standing up, I hold it "cradled" in one arm, and use the other hand to turn pages; sitting down, I hold it in two hands, one on each side, like a book, and use my thumbs to turn the pages). It's a much more "rewarding" reading experience than the CyBook, but it's definitely not a "take it with you everywhere" device.
I'm happy that I have both; it gives me the best of both worlds.
