I think it will be interesting to see if some of the features I mentioned are added in a firmware release around the time the textbooks start hitting. Unfortunately, I don't want to take the "risk" and end up not happy with the device.
I don't understand why everyone seems to think that textbooks for the Kindle DX would be published in PDF format. Maybe I'm just being naiive, but I would hope that Amazon would be smart enough to employ their normal Kindle book format so that students could utilize all the inherent functional advantages of the device. Furthermore, Amazon doesn't currently publish anything in PDF format that I am aware of.
