I tried out the Sony Touch PRS-600, and hated it instantly because of the screen resolution (cloudy), and was worried that fingerprints might make this worse. I'm not grubby, but I don't want to be constantly cleaning the screen. Do I have to 'swipe' the screen to turn a page?

Do you like page turn buttons, or do you prefer a touch screen? Really, the choice is yours. Do you make copious annotations in your books, or do a lot of searching in them? If you, you probably want the K3 - the model that Amazon are now calling the Kindle Keyboard. If you don't use the keyboard a lot, but still want the page turn buttons, go for the Kindle non-Touch. If you're happy with a touch screen, get the Kindle Touch.

How important would wi-fi, or 3G, be to me?

Only YOU can answer that question. Personally I find the 3G very useful.

[*]Consolidation potential? Carrying around all of my devices, in case I might need one, makes my purse seem more like a carry-on for a long flight. Should I hold out for the Kindle Fire, and the possibility of eliminating all but my phone from my arsenal. Will any of the Kindles have an app that will sync with Microsoft Outlook? I'm not too worried about the availability of games. I doubt I can eliminate my iPod, since I have over 15GB of music on it.

It's pretty easy to convert ePub books to Mobi format for the Kindle, should you wish to do so.
