Already bought one, and it just showed at my door. Used it for 5 minutes and it's already better than my Kindle 3 (because it fits in my back pocket).

This thing is basically replacing my PRS-300 and my Kindle 3. The PRS-300 slipcase even fits the K4 non-touch -- barely.

I just want a convenient device for reading books and, for me, the Kindle Basic fills the bill. I consider it an upgrade from my Kindle3 because of the on-screen keyboard. For me, it's far superior to the blasted mechanical keyboard.
Same here. I don't need games or a web browser. I just want a device to read with. and the Touch doesn't have side buttons which definitely would have annoyed me.
