I plan to buy the DX (well, seriously thinking about it would be a better way to express that), but I'm worried that it, too, will continue to work without any problems.
Personally, I would never go back to 2.03.

I'll allow this beast to update to 2.3 on its own. I figure they'll push to it eventually. In the mean time, I can read
I was unimpressed with the PDF addition. Most of the PDF's I tried before the old unit went wonky didn't really look well enough to read with my old eyes. A couple looked very well but its all nothing pressing.
One more interesting thing. I did a quick soft restart and now during the page flips the screen inverts to black first, adds the new page so you can see both pages text overlain, and then clears to the next page. Its actually less eye catching than before when it overlaid the pages with black text on white. White on black over lain pages is much less noticable.
I realize this is a really trivial issue, I just thought it interesting that they seem to have changed how things are done over the hardware cycle. Its not firmware since I had the same on both.
Fun stuff.....
