Thank you, good people, very helpful indeed (especially you, gatemaze)!
I think I will enjoy touching, for navigation, search, zoom etc, but once i get to leisure book-reading, buttons are just buttons and no-one can take those from me

My PDFs are mainly a) my country's journal, which is acceptable to read on Kindle 3, but for some reason it can't be reseized, rewrapped or anything, it's just like a picture and not a text, so i could only zoom, and zoom is not one of the strong points of K3. b) Scaned copies of modern or ancient Chinese texts from my teachers, most of the texts are hard to find in electronic versions, and I dont want to print them due to "save my planet" issues. So yeah, they are quite large and "zoom it and move it" is the easiest (or the only) solution. well, they don't stuff e-readers with duo-core processors yet, so i'll have to be content with slow pace...
BTW, I just downloaded Chinese Duokan OS for Kindle. It's not far from awesome. Not perfect though, but it shows what is any Kindle capable of, given the right insides. I wish all those small features were included from the begining, not by a third party.
I guess I'll try the PRS-T1, then. Thanks again for your opinions.
