Pros & Cons
Pros
The dx is the best reader out there. It is very good for reading pdf if you don't need a quick pagination. Keep the button key board at the bottom - love the tactile *. Love, love, love this device!
I love the screen size (the size of a real book page) and i don't care that it doesn't fit in my purse or coat pocket. I love how slim it is and how easily it fits in bags and backpacks.
Cons
Battery is 1/2 depleted after 3 weeks w/o wireless on. And it does not work; it's defective. Once it's cracked, the whole kindle dx becomes a piece of junk.
Pricing for non 3g should be dropped; same price as a dsi without the colors, touch screen, gaming processes etc.
Never use it to read any scientific paper with graphs. Pdf viewing not acceptable.
Highlights
Quality
The size, lack of glare, and reliability has made it one of the best purchases i have ever made for myself.
The ability to adjust font sizes and orientation adds to the versatility of the device.
It’s not a perfect machine, doesn’t have a frontlight, it’s slower and yes it’s older!
A single charge lasts for weeks, even with regular use.
Price
Which thanks to low print numbers and publisher green results in books over $300+ i will never pick up.
Willing to pay a lot for a 2nd dx for my wife.
Competitiveness
Ps, the demand for a dx seems likely eventually, that another company will build something akin to dx, and get around copyright laws.
Some other companies like sony still make e-ink based readers with big screen and good performance.

My ocd would have drove me crazy as it was not symmetrical the direction i read and it was also a wedge shape that made truly no sense
