I think Amazon felt they had to rush the DX out there to get it firmly established in the marketplace before Plastic Logic comes out with their device in early 2010, even though Amazon knew it might piss off the Kindle 2 owners. There is little concrete info on the Plastic Logic device– not even its name– and a lot of folks are speculating it will be vastly superior. Certainly, with a touch screen it will be a different experience, and will probably be sturdier, but no one really knows much about how the documents will get onto the device (their website says it has wireless, but some speculate that means Bluetooth rather than relying on a cell-phone network, like Kindle). Their marketing is clearly aimed at “the mobile business professional” rather than students or recreational readers, which may mean it’s even more expensive than Kindle DX. We shall see.
