I should point out that I'm lucky enough to have been able to keep my K1 when I bought my DX, so I do mostly still read novels and such on my K1. On books I've bought through Amazon, the sync feature has proven to be a real boon. I can start a book on my DX, move to the K1 (which I'm more likely to take with me when I go out and about), and then, at night, even on my old iPhone that I keep by my bed that I use like an iPod Touch, the text is sync'd to right where I left off. Very sweet.
Well, I guess you can't have everything in one device, but you can try. There are a ton of home grown apps that allow you to add some nice features to your Kindles, so a lot more is possible if you are willing to learn some things and add these softs.
