My wishlist included a high resolution eInk screen like the IRiver Story, so I'm disappointed about that. I also hoped that they offered a touch Kindle that was about the same size as the keyboard Kindle, but with a larger screen taking up most of it. I like to read in landscape mode and would love the increased width, especially for reading PDFs.
Are the Touch screens the same dimensions as the keyboard Kindles?

Yes, Nook Touch has physical page turn buttons, but they are a little hard to press, even after many hours of 'training'. Press has to be firm and accurate, and requires a little more focus than I would like sometimes. So I end up using taps and swipes a lot.
I was hoping for more resolution also. Target.com apparently was selling the I river Story HD for $99 but it is out of stock, and the nearby store didn't have any either. I suspect they are having production issues. Amazon can't afford that kind of problem, so we'll have to wait for future developments it seems.
