But there's also a $99 touchscreen e-ink reader, so there you go. :) http://thisismynext.com/2011/09/28/amazon-touchscreen-kindle...

I'm not too hot on the touchscreen. I don't need it. I like the physical page turning buttons on my wife's Kindle 3... they have a satisfying weight to them and they sit nicely where your fingers already are. I don't want to tap tap tap my e-ink screen all day.
I love the Kindle3, but the side paddles are a pain.

I often end up holding the device in weird ways and accidentally push the paddle inadvertently.

Also random keys on the keyboard cause context switches too.

I'm going to be happy with a $79 or $99 kindle, as I only read on it, and never take notes or search.
