I guess I’m in the minority but I don't want an e-reader any bigger than my K2.

I upgraded the size of the pocketbook I carry to one that’s big enough for the K2 but that’s the biggest bag I’d want to have to carry around as I have tendinitis in my right shoulder and a larger bag would aggravate it. I do wind up taking my K2 every where me.

I can totally understand wanting the DX if you need to enlarge the print to read it but I keep my print size at the 2 second smallest option on the K2 so the smaller screen is more than adequate to my needs.

In the future when / if prices for e-readers drop significantly I’m sure I will have multiple e-readers. Until that point I’ll just stick with my K2.
