That's what people don't seem to understand. Just having the forward and back buttons (and the rest rely on Touch) is not a compromise. And it's not enough.
Getting rid of the keyboard, but keeping the other buttons and adding touch-technology is a compromise that will still allow the device to get smaller/lighter while not forcing users to use Touch for normal navigation. Those who like it can still touch the hell out of the screen.

I actually quite happy with the keyboard and don't need or mind touchscreen, that's just me. But because marketing reasons, I see a Kindle touch very likely.
Depending of what other touchscreen readers are providing or not, they will also remove those "home" buttons too. And I see a high chance of keeping the back and forward buttons than keeping the others, but that's just mere speculation at this point.
