I finally convinced my wife to get the Kindle, and now that we have it at home and I had a chance to play with it, I must say I'm a little peeved at Amazon. How can a $140 6" device have better PDF handling than a $380 10" device?

Amazon isn't a mom-and-pop shop, and ebooks are their business. I'm sure they have enough money to work on both Kindle and Kindle DX firmware. To ignore DX for this long just because it doesn't sell in volume that 6" Kindle does is not an excuse. It's almost 3x the price.

I fully support creating a group, to put a little more pressure on Amazon...
