Completely agree with you there. Amazon could easily design a Kindle which incorporated a touchscreen AND a physical keyboard. I think a neat idea would be to have some kind of pull-out keyboard like you do on some cell/mobile phones. This should satisfy me and those who want a proper keyboard while keeping the device neat and not much bigger than the size of the actual screen.
