The one major advantage of the keyboard on the old models (and why I'm glad they are still being sold) is for students using ebooks in class. For my literature discussions we often have to reference specific sections so the keyboard, while crap, allows you to quickly search out a key phrase in the section under discussion. Page number mappings are still not all that available and often time off of weird editions that aren't even close to standard real paperback editions.
