Hacker News Reader

I read a review here in Hacker News (can't find the link now) that the dx is much better in dealing with PDF. And I have a lot of pdf docs and papers. (here's a link about pdf on the dx http://www.matthewdavidwilliams.com/2009/06/12/technical-doc...)

Looks like we're on the same boat then, I'd buy it mainly for the truckload of technical PDFs I've downloaded and only partially read...

I've also been seriously considering it, but it's hard to justify the cost when you can get a laptop like this for $400..

Yup, that could be a solution too, but I think that a dedicated device is better suited for this task. I could read the papers on my home PC (although the laptop offers something more than the desktop, mobility), but I'd like to avoid the...multitasking that a full-fledged computer offers! It's definitely another option though, and one that I'll take into consideration if and when the DX is made available outside of the US. As it stands, I think that compared to a 6 inch device a netbook is superior.
