So new kindle is here and new sony (almost) is here too.
At the moment I am considering Kindle NT. The downside of course is unusable keyboard. But it is quite cheap. And I do not plan to write a lot, I plan to read

. But sometimes keyboard will be necessary.

I wanted to know about collections. You can make them according to author, genre. Will they all appear in the same list? I don't see a point in having 100 collection list. In that case using keyboard to write the first letter or so will be necessary (does it search immediately or you need to enter a letter and when press search?).

If I decide I can afford the touch model, I am thinking between Kindle touch (if it comes to UK) and Sony new reader. I like sony interface way more. It looks smarter, more user friendly.
But I do not like the way to go to next page. On both of them. Sony you have to actually swipe, which doesn't sound nice and with kindle you can also tap, which is better but still involves moving the finger. For someone who reads as I do it can be bad. Pressing next page for hundreds of times while reading a single book in one evening... Sony does have some buttons (for page turning too) but they are in a silly place in my opinion. I think I would use my thumb to change the page so it would be better if page buttons were on the right not left (I like kindle buttons on the side). But Sony is good with pdfs...

So touch models are easier to use for other things except for reading. Which is so silly. Is where some touch model already released? Can someone give some feedback on page turning?

Also open to other suggestions, but only for e-ink readers, not too expensive (max max 130 pounds) and available at UK. Not interested in buying from US or any other country - shipping, warranty problems etc.

Update: Sony doesn't sell internationally? Does it sell in UK?
It seems if you are a reader you should live in US (I'd so buy Kindle special offers

)

Now also considering Kindle Keyboard wifi refurbished. It's cheaper than new kindle.
