Oh the Kindle DX has PDF Features, even zooming into a PDF is possible with the new firmware.
1. The kindle DX isn't a tablet at all but as you know that already for sure this won't be an issue for you anymore.
2. The Whispersync is a really cool feature. Of course i will get much more battery lifetime by turning it off (several weeks) but most of the time i just keep my whispersynch on the whole time (several newspapers subscriptions and sending myself personal documents on a regular basis) and i have a battery lifetime of something around 1 week. Thats at least a feature which works out if you need it.
3. Like i said above. You'll have basic pdf features and the zoom mode works out very good for me (i read big PDF's with small fonts "quarter by quarter" with the next page button, which is very comfortable in my eyes).
But if you use PDF's very often and need quick zoom in, zoom out for looking at details and then again getting an overview of the document, or if you have mainly PDF's where the colour is important for you i think something like the iPad would be the better kind of choice.
But if you are mainly a passionated reader who needs sometimes PDF support with simple but working PDF zoom features the DX will make you very happy.
