It hasn't prompted me to update to 5.0.3 yet, though. I'm using the second-smallest font and the text is perfectly readable... but I long for page-turn buttons so I don't have to move my thumb over to turn pages.

The 3, 4, and 5 have been used for "generation" of Kindle.
Amazon's using Kindle 3 with software version 3.x.x
And the NoTouch $79 one is Kindle 4 with software version 4.x.x
The Kindle Touch should be Kindle 5, as it has software version 5.x.x
(Note that Kindle Fire is software version 6.x.x .)
Since they're all quite different, I think it's important to separate
Kindle 4 NoTouch/No Keyboard and Kindle 5 Touch (which has the v.5.0.3 update)
The Kindle 4 has had the most complaints relatively speaking.
Haven't heard much about the K5 Touch having the probs the K4 does.
But maybe I missed them? Love mine w/ its lighter background and
dark fonts.
