I do have to say that I am gravitating toward the larger screen, but not definitively. I guess that school-based apps will be better supported by that screen, but we will see!

I started with the Kindle 1, then moved to Kindle 2 and just returned my DX. Portability and useability can't be emphasized enough. DX has an even worse keyboard than K2 and too big to carry with you everywhere. That plus the low-rent PDF compatibility were dealbreakers for me. I can’t agree.
