I'm dying to see the Graphite in person, too. A friend recently ordered one so I'm hoping I can compare our DXs and stop eating my heart out so hard over it!

At first, I wasn't that impressed with DX Graphite. Probably expectations in "new generation of screen" had been too high.
But yesterday, when taking it out of the "sock" and showing it to my first colleague, the screen saver really was impressive. I think it was "Jane Austen" and the letters of the name had been extremely dark and the contrast of the picture was quite convincing.
And personally, I'm kind of glad about these reactions. I'd been a bit worried about all the hype "iPad killing all other readers". Sometimes, this kind of "hysteria" tends to become a self-fulfilling prophecy...
