Kindle DX for sheet music and music books. Anyone use one?
Anyone using a Kindle DX (the regular version is too small). I specifically want it for sheet music and music related books, like music theory, acoustics, etc. Would be nice to have everything to carry around. It's not perfect but is it useable for a musician?

Looks interesting but it seems is meant to use with a computer. I'm looking more for solutions using e-ink technology not backlit lcds (which I think really suck for reading imo, so no ipad type either)

I have the smaller Kindle and agree it's two small to play with but it handles PDF's of sheet music (and kindle format) perfectly so I'll use it sometimes to check scores while i'm mixing (nicer than looking at a mess of papers all the time).

Hope that helps some
