I'm sure that when Amazon first announced the Kindle 4, they said that they would continue to sell the Kindle 3
(also stated here - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...ader,3040.html)
but the Kindle 3 on Amazon UK's own site is only available second hand or from other sellers. I would always want a keyboard version since I annotate and search alot and the onscreen keyboard is far too slow to use on the 4 and I don't want Touch Screen. I've also noticed the lower powered specs of the K4, although the unit itself would be perfect for my mother who would find the keyboard a hindrance.

I do hope that the death of Steve Job doesn't change Amazon's consumer-driven policies so that they become yet another Sony or Samsung.
