I'm hoping the DX with its HUGE screen will be a little more linear with the font set on huge. Especially in landscape mode.
Note that the KDX has exactly the same font sizes as the K2, so make sure the largest font is big enough for you. I have screenshots from a K1 in Font Sizes.

You will get more words per line on the KDX, and custom PDFs can have larger fonts.
