I too would love a new DX. But until that day comes I am still happily doing marathon reading sessions on my DXG.

Surely would love the Kindle DXG at an affordable price. I use ipad2 for pdf reading as Kindle 3 does not suffice for pdf.
So are there any easily available affordable alternatives (international shipping required) to Kindle DXG? or Is the DXG at reduced price one day deals a good buy? |

I read a lot tech PDF files. DXG is a life saver. Black and white materials are best on the DXG. But it handles some PDFs sluggishly, sometimes unbearable. That's when I resort to iPad 3. I got the iPad 3 for the screen. But the primary reading device for me is still the DXG.
Is it a good buy at $110 off? I would say it depends on your reading requirements. If they are close to mine, then it is definitely a deal. For me personally, I got a refurbished one from a Woot deal for $205 shipped and it has worked out for me. |

And now the Kindle Touch is back in stock again. Still willing to risk that $110 on new models being released in the next 5 days?

Actually, there is no bet since the thread title was taken directly from the article in Gizmodo.
