I just got my Kindle DX and it does exactly what I wanted it to do. The screen is a pleasure. Books download quickly over Whispernet. I have put lots of pdf's on it by dragging and dropping from my Windows XP machine. (I am a theoretical physicist, so these are Phys Rev papers, etc. The print is a bit small in full screen mode, but once you look at the layout of the page simply rotating produces a 1/3 page view which is fine for reading the paper. I don't tend to annotate papers, so not being able to do it in the Kindle DX is fine by me. When I need to underline a paper and/or add comments I first load it into Acrobat or PDF Annotator and do what I need on my tablet, then put it back on the Kindle).

I am a very happy camper!
