I have the Kindle 2, and it does everything that the Kindle DX apparently can, except it has a smaller screen. Right now, you're essentially paying $130 for 3.5 diagonal inches of screen.
I love the thing, though, and use it every day both for books and for my daily news"paper".
If they can work out some of the technological issues, like touch-screen technology and color e-ink, as well as some of the physical issues with screen sizes for different types of media, this could end up being the next major revolution both in media and in overall computing.
