What I don't understand is why they released it without PDF functionality that most students and professionals would want or need. Like the ability to highlight, annotate and zoom (real zoom, not rotating the unit) PDFs without having to convert them, which doesn't work right on many PDFs anyway. Students could replace a lot of their textbooks if available in ebook format, as well as binders full of PDF printouts, if they could just highlight and make notes on the DX directly. Now all it's good for is reading them, which will make studying later on a pain. Also PDFs with tiny font sizes and pictures will be hard to read even if you rotate it.
It seems like the DX really wasn't ready to be released yet but they did anyway. Yes they can fix these things later on in updates but I wouldn't buy one now on the hope that they might do that if I was in the market for a large screen PDF device. I'm one of those old fashioned people that believe a product should deliver on what it's being marketed for upon release, not someday in the future, maybe, if they feel like it.
I wonder what was Amazon's rush to get it out in June anyway? Why not August or September and get it right?
