With the recent update i dont even have to crop them becuase in landscape mode it automatically crops the white space on pdf's now. and for $489 US it is a pretty good value. In my opinion the DX1000, while a very good pdf reader is simply not worth twice the price;
It depends what you want to do with it, of course.

One of the most useful capabilities of the DR1000 is that you can have multiple documents open at once, and flip between them with a tap of the stylus. This is amazingly useful if you're reading one document, and looking up references in others. That's something that the Kindle DX simply cannot do, so if it's a facility that's important to you, the iRex can be worth paying significantly more for.
