To be honest, it is pretty small but it's very usable. In well-let areas that aren't moving, the scaled-down PDFs look readable and 'good enough'. If you want, you can send me a PDF and I'll take a picture of what it looks like on the DX.
I also thought about waiting for the Plastic Logic device, but decided on getting the DX for a few reasons. First, I had about $300 of Amazon gift cards from my credit card, and the Kindle became a great target to spend it on. Secondly, considering QUE's target market, I assumed it would be prohibitively expensive for a personal reading device. Also, the DX is available now and has a cell connection, which is nice.

research papers look great, I read lots of two-column ACM style papers which are just fine. Here's a picture that someone else took for me before I decided to buy it: http://files.getdropbox.com/u/52575/photo.jpg

How is reading say, a research paper, on your DX? I have been tempted by it, but the screen still seems too small.
