Anything from the other competitors will get you the ability to read ebooks, a better web browser, MP3 player, movie playback, slicker user interface, better input (either keyboard or apple's stunning touch interface), download alternative apps, easy memory expansion, wifi, phone (either 3G or Skype), colour display, fast screen refresh, backlit screen, full document editing... all that the Kindle offers is an easy download service and a daylight readable screen. Sure they're good features, but right now you're sat inside, in front of a compter connected to the internet, so it's not as if you cannot survive without them.
It's not a question of 'winning' here, it's a question of whether the DX is a mainstream product. I don't think it is in any sense of the word, and at that price it's something even specialist users would have to think about. There's a lot of room for other manufacturers to come in and lead the market.
