I almost never use the keyboard on my Kindle. It is almost useless to me. The benefit of being able to touch a word or footnote with my finger to bring up a note/definition is light-years ahead of the tedious navigation buttons on the Kindle. I often ignore footnotes because the interface is too clunky.

Click,click,click,click,click,click,click,click,cl ick
vs
touch

I can understand those people who make notes in their books wanting a physical keyboard, but I don't have any need for it. A touchscreen would make so many things better.
