I got your point.

In my opinion (and now talking as an Engineer, not a user, lol) the keyboard adds some extra space and weight that helps when holding the Kindle, especially with one hand. After Amazon removed that, I think the new Kindle is more square with the center of gravity more to the center.

Of course, I don't have one with me, but I would say will feel different when holding, specially with one hand.

However, the Nook Touch is similar in size and found it very, very comfortable on my hands. The main differences, in my opinion, are the buttons (hardware) and missing landscape mode (software).
