The new non touch Kindle is significantly shorter, thinner, and lighter than the new Kindle touch. The battery is probably smaller to help achieve those reductions.

I think this is very close to the Kindle I've been waiting over 2 years for. I like my Kindle 2, but after a few months, I realized that I want a much more pocketable model as well. The Kindle 3 is still too big, but I think that this will be enough better to get one.

I hope that the battery will last at least a couple of weeks with wifi off.
