I also have a Kindle DX. And I agree that the PDF reader on it is junk. Which is surprising since the base OS is Linux and should be able to use okular for PDF. I use okular on Linux/Intel and like it. But I also admit that I don't know all the constraints imposed by the hardware. I don't like laptops. OK, my laptop is a beast. I need to try something smaller than an 8 pound, 17.3 in wide screen behemoth. I really love the Kindle's screen. Laptops wash out easily in bright sunlight. And N. Texas often has bright sunlight. The Kindle's screen is excellent everywhere I go. Um, it there is enough ambient light. Just like paper.
