Refurb is $320, new is $389.

That's a 17.7% difference, or $69.

That could buy me a decent cover for the Kindle DX.

Warranty is of little use to me because the cost of shipping it back to the US would be prohibitive - that, and officially the DX doesn't ship to my home country (New Zealand).

Anyway doesn't a refurb carry the same 1 year warranty?

I'm more than happy to buy Apple refurb products (they are apparently rechecked with a fine-toothed comb). If the same quality control applies for Kindle refurbs I would definintely buy a refurb for the savings but would be good to hear what you think.

Also, just so I don't get caught out - does the new Kindle DX Graphite come out in a "US-ONLY" wireless version? Or does every Kindle DX Graphite have "global" wireless?
