I'm seriously tempted to go for the Touch for the smaller form factor alone. But I'm mainly concerned about fingerprints on the screen, the screen on my K3 (and the K2 before it) are magnets for smudges and dust. Also, other than a quicker refresh time and x-ray, I don't see any other improvements in the reading experience itself over the K3. I was perfectly happy with my K2 until I actually saw what a huge improvement the Pearl screen of the K3 was. I'll hold off until I can actually mess around with one at a brick and mortar store before I decide for sure.
