I think (though I can't be sure) that the 5 means it's the 5th model of Kindle (remember Kindle Keyboard is also known as the K3) and the 1, 2, or 3 would possibly stand for which lot or run of the K5 the particular unit is part of. With most new tech there is bound to be some percentage that look ok but have some flaws that aren't detected til later. Even quality control can't always weed out all the defective units I'm sure. It's not always best to be the one to get the new toy 1st. Of course I could be wrong as to what the #'s mean but that's my guess.
