I bought mine to read PDFs and, for me, it does that splendidly. It's great not to have to go through a stack of printouts or read a book on my monitor for very long.
Would I like to have highlight and notes in PDF? You bet. But until they offer them, I'm fine with treating the PDFs the same way I treat library books and make handwritten notes. It does help that I can bookmark a page in a PDF.
And, yes, it would be nice to have buttons on the left, but my guess is that the weight of DX is such that resting the device in your left hand without pressing a key would be problematic. I'm not a designer, so that's a guess, but I've noticed that I do grip the DX right where the Next Page button would be.
I'm keeping my K1 for casual reading - it's light, the screen is crisp and clear, and I enjoy reading on it for long periods of time.
I'm definitely keeping my DX, too, because it does what no other ereader out there below $500 does - it lets me read my large PDF library with ease.
