According to Amazon's Kindle website:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/custom...80&#version2.3

Here's what's in Version 2.3

(According to the website, there is a Version 2.3 for the K2 as well -- follow the link if you want to read about those)

Quote:
Kindle DX

* Better cropping of PDF files: In landscape orientation, white margins of PDF documents are automatically cropped to maximize the amount of content shown on the screen.
* Option to convert PDF files to Kindle format. If you prefer to have your personal PDF documents converted to the Kindle format (so that they can reflow), type "Convert" in the subject of the e-mail when you submit your personal document to your @kindle.com address.
* View pages longer: We've extended the time before Kindle DX switches into screensaver mode — from 5 minutes to 20 minutes — giving you more time for reviewing your content.
Also, instructions for updating manually are here

Overall, that sounds like an improvement to me -- particularly the last item which is critical if you want to use the Kindle as a music reader or knitting pattern reader.
