My professor and I each bought a Kindle DXG several months ago in anticipation of the software update that has yet to materialize. Since we both have a ton of academic books scanned to PDF, and which are not available yet in the Taiwan Kindle store, the DXG was sort of a no brainer simply because of its larger screen. At that time I thought it would make no sense that a cheaper model would have better pdf support than the flagship model, and it wouldn't be that much of a wait before the 3.0 firmware came out for the DXG, but 4 months later we're both still waiting. I sorely need highlighting abilities, but the small screen on the Kindle 3 just won't do for so much pdf reading.
If anyone is going to start a petition to Amazon to update the firmware, I'll sign on right away!
