My initial impression was it was too heavy and return it, but decided to give it time and glad I did. Best feature: DX makes reading so much more enjoyable and faster. Being able to scan the entire page and several paragraphs is a big plus. I like the % read feature. Weight: I guess the best way to describe it is the DX is like holding a hardback book the sized of Harry Potter Novel for example. The K1 is like a small paperback. I always rested hardback books, paper back books, and my K1 on my lap. I do the same with DX. I rarely did or do one handed reading for very long, so no big deal. Worst feature: The battery strength indicator can hardly be read. Don't know if it a flaw on mine or not. My K1 the entire battery gauge was dark filled and on the DX only a very tiny sliver along the bottom of the battery Improvements: 1. Missing left side page buttons, battery access, split keyboard, and SD card (all in the K1). I purchased the Amazon cover and DX wears it all the time, it looks and works great, very low profile. I also purchased the Trendy Digital plastic cover.   |

It drains from right to left, and yes, the filled part of the gauge is shaded light to dark rather than a solid black color, but it's clearly distinctive from the "Empty" part of the gauge nonetheless. |

Greg, Mine not so much, unless i really put a lot of light on it- like direct sun light. Now the single strength bars just to right are very readable as is the text in any light. So, it's not really a big deal, just find it odd, and if that's the worst of it I can cope  . I used to have Volkswagen van that the windsheld wipers stopped when I put the breaks on-- just adds a little charactor to an otherwise great machine. I just plug it in every 3 days and don't worry to much about it. DX overall is makes my reading much more enjoyable than print or K1. |

I bought a K1 for my sister, and she is enjoying it, although I think she likes my DX more.
