I'm thinking about selling my Kindle DX US (white, the first DX) and buying the Kindle Touch Wifi with special offers.

In your opinion, is the upgrade to the Touch worth giving up the screen size of the DX.

The Touch has the touch interface and the latest software. It also has a better screen. However, it doesn't have the 3G of my DX and the screen is half the size. However, I very rarely even use the 3G and the larger size is really only a real benefit if I'm reading PDFs, which I also very rarely do. So, it seems that I have the more expensive and heavier DX when I don't value the benefits that much.

I should be able to sell my DX with leather cover for around $199 and I can buy the Touch for $99.

I'm leaning toward getting the Touch. What are your thoughts?
