I have the original Kindle DX, which has 3G in the US. Do you think the better screen on the latest DX is worth my selling the DX US and buying a new or used latest DX?

I'm finding that the new screen is just so much better than the older screen. There definitely is some eye strain without a good light source on the older screens. I wonder whether the cost to upgrade is worth it. I could probably get a used latest DX for like $320 and sell my old one for around $200 or so. Thus, the cost to upgrade might be around $120+ebay fees. What do you think. Is it worth it? I'll definitely upgrade to the next DX if it comes out if I don't now. I might just wait until a new DX comes out, whenever that is.

What are your thought?
