So I hesitate which one to buy, because basically I just want a reader to read my academic papers and the screen of kindle DX is 9.7'', 824*1200, which might be fine for A4 paper. More importantly, I can save a lot of a lot of money!!!!!!!!

Is a 9.7'' screen OK for A4 paper??!!!
While the price might be attractive for the DX, the lack of functionality with PDF will be a problem. There is no ToC and no inline link support. So if you need these, forget it. If you can live without for every PDF you have or will have, go for it. And there is no zoom of any kind for PDF.
