Yup, I'm upgrading from the K3 to the non-touch K4. While that may be perceived as "idiotic" by some, it makes perfect sense to me.

I love the new streamlined design, the lighter weight, and the smaller form factor. I had preordered the Touch, but I don't want to touch the screen every time I want to turn the page. Maybe I'll change my mind once I have the chance to go hands-on with one. The only time I have ever used the keyboard on my K3 was to enter my wifi password. Even though it has less storage, I can guarantee that I will never have the need to store over 1,000 books on my e-reader. I have also never used the audio features on my K3.

The bottom line is that I am losing features for which I never had a need, and gaining a better design and more convenient form factor. To each his own.
