The Touch 3G is a bit smaller and lighter weight, and it holds 500 less books than the Keyboard 3G (3,000 vs. 3,500—either way, that's a lot of books!). They both have 6" e-ink screens and battery life is the same.

I guess it comes down to which features matter most to you. While the touchscreen is very intriguing, I actually like having the page-turn buttons so I might miss that.

I think your plan is very wise. Whichever model you end up with, Amazon does have a very generous return policy, so if it doesn't meet your needs you can always change your mind.

P.S. Welcome to MobileRead!
Thanks for the welcome!!!

It's good to know that you really like the K3 that you have!

I was all set to order the Kindle Keyboard 3G, but I decided to email Amazon's customer service to see if they could enlighten me. Here is the response I got:
"Hello,

Below is the answer for your 2 questions:

1. Yes, definitely Kindle Keyboard with 3G continue to be available through the end of this year. If the stock ends as this product is selling out very quickly, we will provide more stock.

2. Yes, new Kindle Touch 3G will be able to browse the web using the free 3G service.

If you need any further required information, please let us know.

Thanks for your interest in our newly launched Kindle models."
Hmmmmm.....
