Good thing I read this thread. It looks like Amazon doesn't want customers to download firmware to their PC and transfer it to the device. I don't want to own a DX that couldn't be updated at all.
Sigh, I guess iPad is the way to go.

Nah, have a look here: updating IS possible without ANY hassle at all:

And I would not recommend iPad as a reading device, to start off it has an LCD display, meaning it's very bright and colorful and I'd kill myself if I had to read on that kind of screen. Two, iPad works around 10 hours or so, while my Kindle DX lasts around a month (at least with MY amount of reading).
So I'm not saying get a Kindle, but what I AM saying is: get a device with a e-paper display, which is easy on the eyes and which is AS CLOSE as reading off an electronic device can get to reading a real book.
