If Amazon were to take the time to improve the software and enhance PDF support, the Kindle DX would be a more than capable device. The hardware support and physical dimensions are there. Hopefully, Amazon has acknowledged this and software updates coming soon will resolve most of these issues.
If they do so, I might still buy it. Because even so the Que looks real good, it is much safer to buy from a company like Amazon, not a startup. Perhaps Amazon even has a new large screen this year?
