I don't understand this. My Kindle DX is fairly ancient at this point, but it seems to do OK with english-language books and some math texts as well. I really enjoy it.

He was talking about the combination of English and Japanese, not one or the other as individuals.

What about the Japanese Paperwhite? I came close to getting one last December but decided to hold off. The people I've talked to who own it haven't mentioned having any issues. That being said I sympathize with the rest of Groxx's post which is why I'm still hesitant to purchase one. The math type point probably sticks regardless.
