I suspect another factor is the text is bigger on the DX. A document on the DX will show larger text even though the font size is the same due to the fact that the ppi is lower. It is only about 150 on the DX while it is 167 on a 6" device and will be 200 ppi on the 5" when they are released. While some vocal people insist that 600 ppi is needed to comfortably read I believe more people just like the font a little bigger and unconsciously like it better.
It will be interesting to see if the 200 ppi will grab anyone's attention as being superior to the 167 ppi on 6" devices. I am waiting for everyone to weigh in once they start using these devices. If 5" devices turn out to be better in the long run for the reading experience I would expect 6" devices to migrate to a 768 x 1024 screen.
