If you want to take notes, add comments and things like that, you should aim for a touchscreen unit.
If you've got a voucher from Amazon: Can't you buy another reader from Amazon's huge portfolio, instead of Kindle?
I'd recommend something in the range of Onyx Boox, iRex 800, Sony 600 or 900.
If it has to be one of the 3 you name, Kindle DX might be slightly better, given the bigger screen.

Why a touch screen?

You can take notes and add comments perfectly well with the Kindle's keyboard. Are you meaning to write handwritten notes on another e-reader's screen?

To me that doesn't sound so nice... have you ever signed for a package on that electronic signature pad?
