You might be right, but the DX hardware is a bit of a mess - unbalanced, odd button placement and terrible keyboard. It could end up looking very much out of place between devices designed for proper handling of PDFs (including decent annotation and markup which need far better input) and larger devices for leisure reading (which need a much cleaner and better laid out control layout).
Buying a DX in the hope that the software will be revised and improved and the device won't be overshadowed by Plastic Logic's reader, or Sony's next product is a bit brave.
