The problem with the Touch is that it's essentially a mobile tap lamp, which means you can turn it on and off inadvertently, hence the tie-in to the K3's shoulder buttons.

I understand Amazon's design choice, but I can't even fathom what M-Edge was thinking. The E-Luminator2 was fine except for its incompatibility with non-M-Edge cases and larger form factor. A hard switch is a good thing on the road.

Your comment about the built-in light in the Kindle case is just another reason I probably wouldn't be happy with it. I like the idea of a separate battery; it's nice to be able to be able to power the equivalent of a back light separately, since I can still make out the screen in a lot of situations and would rather that both Kindle and light not run out of power at once.

If we didn't criticize Amazon products publicly, then our criticisms couldn't be corroborated and wouldn't be heard, and the various iterations of said products would stand less chance of being informed by user experience.
