Hi I'm planning on getting the Kindle DX pretty soon, but I just had some questions.

I was looking on ebay to maybe get a used one out of the box for cheaper, but some of the listings on there are a lot more than the price of $379 on amazon.com. why is this?

I reckon that some of them are the 2nd generation ones unopened so they are rare and sought after by collectors or whatever, but there are some graphite DXs that I see that are over 400. I don't understand why this is so and would like to know why.

And also there's no reason for me to get the older version right? I've been researching a little bit, and it seems like the newest model is better in every way?

Thanks for any help!
