If Amazon had put any effort at all into their PDF support, it would blow away the DR1000S for "technical literature". As it is, for PDF the KDX lacks: table of contents navigation, highlights, notes, search, and dictionary lookup. It also has only two view modes (portrait and landscape, no zoom), but that may be ok on the large screen.
