Too bad the pool you jumped in has no water.

If you bought the DX to read PDF, you'll find (according to others) the support for PDF to be less then expected. A lot of people have returned their DX. Also the fact that it goes to slideshow mode after 10 minutes of inactivity is another deal breaker for some.. The good news is that if these things are an issue, you can return it.

From what I've read on MR, unless you need a larger than 6" screen, the K2 is a better device.
