How about a few of these? http://textbookrevolution.org/index.php?title=Special:Ask&#3...

I want to buy a dx too, but like this fellow I'm worried it can't display all the free textbooks out there.

I have quite a number of those too. Some of the PDF's display better than others. The problem ones have the text bunched in one area and one artifact (a 'cut' mark) in the whitespace area. This stops the DX from zooming up to just the non-whitespace area. This happens in about 20% of the free pdf books. Most of the time it is still quite readable by rotating to horizontal mode.

I have about 150 textbooks on mine and I don't need to lug a laptop around anymore just to read pdf books. I love this thing.

There will be a few PDFs (badly made ones) that just won't show the font large enough. If you need 100%, stick to your other options.
