I didn't find this info on a search, so thought I'd ask it here, hope it's not well worn territory.

I bought the DX thinking I would want the bigger screen to see images, charts, etc in magazines and PDFs. The problem is that the magazines and newspapers I tried, Business Week, Reason, Technology Review, FT, not only had no images/charts, but no call out boxes, and worst of all no table of contents. How do you scan a magazine or paper when you have to step through each article? Maybe it's just a different style of reading I'd get used to, but I don't think so, there is a reason they have charts, tables, and call out boxes, so you can scan quickly and pick up what is going on to decide if you want to invest the time. I called Kindle customer support (or had them call me) and the guy just said it was up to the publisher and he really didn't know what periodicals had matained the formatting or if they would get better over time.

Further the PDF mode, while it maintins the images (although sometimes so faint you can't see them) you can't scale the text and in those documents with a table of contents, the ones I tried at least, the TOC often doesn't work on DX. If I convert to .prc (mobi publisher) or awz (kindle email) file you loose illustrations and formatting. Arghh...

Unless I'm missing something completely - which I could be as I've only had it for a 10 days - It seems that at least for now the kindle is ok for reading books that you expect to read linearly without many graphics. But for magazines, newspapers, PDFs, etc. Not so much.

So the question, if it will be like that for a while, I might as well return the DX and get the K2. If I expect there to be software patches and much better content to be provided by publishers shortly, then maybe I should hang onto the DX......of course by then the DX2 will be cheaper and better.

Thoughts? Advice?

Many Thanks
