Lots of useful replies, thanks! I ended up getting an iPad. While the Oracle docs are available in the correct format for Kindle, many other docs come in PDF format, and the iPad can do a better job. My local Verizon store had a NIB iPad 1 with 64g for $499, so I couldn't resist that deal - only $300 more than the Kindle DX on sale.
