Yes, the reader is smaller... but I don't find the PRS-505 I currently use to be too big either. Unless it is small enough to fit in my shirt pocket, I don't really see much advantage in going smaller than that. As for more real estate for the screen.... huh? They all have exactly the same size screen.

You can buy covers for the KT that allow you to read it in a bath with NPS if you really want to.

$15 to buy the cover... or $0.25 for a ziplock.

TBH even with no touchscreen and buttons, I wouldn't be using an ereader in a bath anyway, it could be dropped easily and all that steam/moisture can't be good for it in the longterm, unless you get a waterproof cover for it, which is available on the KT as well.

Once it is in the Ziplock, it is protected pretty effectively against steam and moisture. I suspect my reader gets exposed to more moisture when I use it on the exercise bike than when I use it in the tub.
In any case, I am not saying those who choose an all touch screen reader are making the wrong choice. But for some, I think there is still definite utility in having a reader that uses buttons.
