Is the Kindle DX Worth the Money?

Posted by timothy on from the wouldn't-turn-it-down-in-a-gift-basket dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Now that some little time has passed, and the hype has died down a bit, I'm wondering if anyone has taken the $500 plunge and gotten a Kindle DX. From the academic-paper-reading-geek perspective, is it worth the money? How well does it work with PDFs, and is it easy to get them on and off? I haven't been able to find any good reviews on the interweb that address its usability as I would like to use it."

    The DoJ didnt look into it because APPLE HOLDS NO MONOPOLIES, MORON. Having a big marketshare DOES NOT mean you have a monopoly. Microsoft installed on 95% of all desktops(at the time of the DoJ anti-trust hearings) is a monopoly, Apple owning less then HALF the music market does not make a monopoly.
