On the DX, the writing is quite small (on an A4 page) if you don't zoom in.
Prior to the DX I had a Sony PRS505, which is about the same size as the kindle (not sure if the screen resolution is lower or higher) and I found that images and tables would just be cropped. Text, obviously, could be reflowed. Some items (like text in call out boxes etc) would also be truncated. Obviously the Sony and the Kindle have different PDF rendering engines, so this might not be a problem on the Kindle. However it was my primary motivation for getting the DX, as the Sony was fine for reading books/newspapers/magazines.

The books I'm thinking of are obviously technical (A4-sized, as you say). Out of interest, have you actually tried reading A4 documents on the smaller one and had issues? > Cheers > Ken
