I would settle for a K4 that had the following improvements as opposed to a new touch screen. I too am not that excited over touch screens--tried several and wasn't impressed.

Hardware Improvements that would be nice

A much faster processor
A better trackpad and keyboard

Firmware Improvements that would be nice

Ability to sideload fonts
Better built-in book management
Way more on-device formatting ability
ePub support (doubt this will ever happen)

As far as tablets go, until they come up with affordable large displays that have 300 dpi resolution, reading text will be a pain. I love my iPad, but not for reading. The NookColor was better, but still not nearly as good as the Retina displays on the iPhone/iPt4 or on some of the Android phones. (My Motorola Atrix 4G has a screen on par with Apple's Retina display.)
