I'm no expert but: by aging quickly I simply meant that it was released 4 months ago and, this being 2010, updates have a way of sneaking up on you. New screen or not, it features more or less the same physical interface as the original Kindle DX, which has by universal agreement been improved upon in the K3. So the graphite seemed (to me) more of a refresh than a full generation.

I'd prefer not to pay 350, only to find out that Amazon's "at some point" vis-a-vis firmware updates is just in time for a third generation DX (Christmas, say). Is all.

P.S. nice Dalek.
