Anything with detailed drawings or charts are hard for me to see on my ereader. Now I do have to point out that I haven't used anything large format like the the DX, so my opinion may change if I get the opportunity to use one.
Remember that eBooks are very nice for people and they help people to read more, because the are very better accessible.

Show people your kindle and you'll have to fight against the "feeling" and "smell" and "soul" of paper books, against poor going-out-of-business bookstores, against any-idiot-can-write-an-ebook and "people don't read anymore" arguments.

Don't worry ... the future is unstoppable. Resistance is futile ... ebooks will assimilate us all

Merry Christmas
Very good words!
Any idiot can write an eBook, but you can filter your books and searches, to get only the best titles

Also, this is good because make people write more and you can have the chance to interact with new autors
