I disagree with boswd on two points:

1. Touchscreens. I am in my thirties and even I have unintended touchscreen activation all the time just by trying to hold it (the new touchscreens are two sensitive). When you have old arthritic fingers (as my grandparents did), touchscreen would be a nightmare.
2. LCD readers are worse on the eyes (even I can't read for long stretches off an LCD screen) and much worse battery life. Contrast of the Kindle 3 is great and you can read it in sunlight or any other ambient light. LCD readers are heavier.
