Blog Kindle, could you please tell me if the Touch can be read in landscape mode and if the page turn zones shift also? Thanks!

Here goes... just out of the oven - Kindle Touch Review.

In nutshell:
no landscape support in PDF or elsewhere
yes PDF ToC support finally
no free 3G browsing as promised
exactly the same eInk screen as K3 and K4

I just tried on mine...no landscape available. However, swiping up and down on the screen while in a book will change the page, in addition to swiping left/right or tapping. That up/down motion would seem more natural in landscape when the device is sideways.

Oh, that really sucks. I guess I will not be buying one of these. I mainly read in landscape mode.

Thank you for confirming this.

I got stuck in your review were you state:
Noticeably smaller than Kindle Keyboard (KK/K3) and 0.5oz lighter. Just a notch smaller (hardly noticeable) than Kindle 4 Non-Touch (K4NT) and 1.7oz heaver.

Actually the K4NT is smaller than the K4 Touch.
K4NT: 6.5" x 4.5" x 0.34" (166 mm x 114 mm x 8.7 mm)
K4T: 6.8" x 4.7" x 0.40" (172 mm x 120 mm x 10.1 mm)

Actually you have it correct in the details later in the article. Just wasn't that far down when I posted.

Thanks for the excellent REVIEW!

I guess the K4NT will be my second (mobile) eReader.
