I like the Kindle DX. My problem with the Kindle DX are (and this is a matter of opinion, of course)
1. Poor PDF support. I have tried several technical PDFs and they do display fine in portrait and landscape mode. However, there has been a need sometimes for a middle zoom which I have not been able to achieve with the DX. I don't own one that I can use and abuse so I don't know if there is a setting that corrects this problem.
2. No capability of storage expansion. There is limited internal storage that cannot be expanded using external storage media (SD cards, USB, etc).
3. No support for folder structure.
2 is not a show stopper for me. The storage space built-in is plenty for what I need. However, 1 and 3 definitely are. Especially 1. If Amazon go ahead and fix these shortcomings via software updates, I would definitely consider buying a DX as a secondary, more portable large screen e-reader.
As far as other large screen readers, it looks like the Apple iPad will be the first to hit the market and available for purchase on April 3rd. For those who think the iPad classifies as an e-reader device...
