Yeah, I'm more interested in seeing what the K5 or K6 will do as well as the next generation Nooks, Kobos, and Sonys.
When I was trying to decide on an ereader, it came down to which extra feature I wanted more: the prs-350's touchscreen or the Kindle's 3G coverage and web browser? I'm a habitual fact checker when I read, so the Kindle won that battle easily. I'll take another look at touchscreen e-ink readers if/when they behave more like a multi-touch LCD screen reader and the ghosting issues have been eliminated.
Regarding the Kindle's keyboard (Does anyone else
like adding notes to books? I do it all the time!): While the keys do feel a bit clicky/clunky to type on, I like that a minimal amount of screen real estate is utilized while typing notes. On the touchscreen readers that I've seen, the screen gets swallowed up by the virtual keyboard and textbox. I like being able to still read the portion of text where I'm adding my note.
