I haven't participated in the poll as yet as I am currently undecided. I will see what the early adopters have to say once the new Kindles are actually available.

About the only time I use the keyboard is when I am adding a new collection so a physical keyboard is not an absolute necessity; the Touch, therefore, may be just fine. As Blog Kindle said, it sort of depends upon the implementation of the touch screen technology with an eInk screen.

As for the Fire, a tablet might be nice, especially at that price point, but it sort of depends upon how locked down it is, and, as my main use of it would be as an eReader, how well it still performs that task and what the colour screen adds to the experience as I won't be reading children's books or comic books. I can see colour being very nice for photos in biographies or history books, maps and things like that, but most of the physical books I have now include only black and white photos, so.....

Of course the main deciding point right now is that I don't have the money to buy a new eReader of any sort anyway , so I am determinedly still quite happy with my Kindle 3!
