From one academic-paper-reading-geek to another: Don't waste your time with the Kindle DX.
I am a professor and did order one- with very high hopes of going beyond paper!
To warn others, I also posted a review of my experience with the Kindle DX on my blog:

But there was no way to really use the thing the way you need to if you are an academic-paper-reading-geek!
I returned it after about a week. Maybe next year there will be a machine with the right stuff! I hope so!
