I have been a user of the Kindle DX for almost a year and even though I do not use all of the features I am ready to give this device an extremely high rating.
I travel for a living and I am the guy who always has several books in his bag just to pass the time, of course carrying books really adds to the weight load. The kindle solved all of that, I now travel with this slim light weight device , not only does it hold the 3k plus books it also carries a good conversation too. I have met more people who want to know more about the device and of course since I am willing that leads to other conversations.
As of now I have only seen one Sony reader in the airport everyone else with ebooks all have kindles, all generations but not as many Dx's. I think the new model with the price drop will change that.
Now recently I did have a problem, the screen on my kindle was acting up, I could not get it to display anything correctly ( I do not know if I dropped it without realizing it or if it was screen malfunction) I was traveling on a flight and when I got to my hotel I called tech support to help find a fix , their was none but since I was still under warranty they overnighted me a new one to my hotel, I had it the next day. I did not expect to get service like that. Awesome!
All in all, the connivance of traveling with my books, a book store ( Amazon) no monthly fees, Long lasting batteries ( I charge it every few weeks.) Previews of books before you buy and the changing of the fonts to a larger size are all features for both kindles ( II and DX.) that I love. The DX adds to that with a larger screen , crisp black and white images that fit the screen and taking pdf files from work and reading them on the kindle., I also like the new feature of posting excerpts of what you are reading to face book and the new folder system for organizing books
The features under experimental tab like voice and web are things that I have played with but I do not use them or depend on them.
The one thing I pondered on before buying my kindle was would my mind miss the look of the print, I was half way through my first book on the kindle before I asked myself that question again. The answer, I didn't notice the change.
