I went to Target yesterday and had my "1st close encounter" with the new Kindle family.

I do like the Kindle wifi ergonomics. It feels nice on hands and good to have page turn buttons However, background looks more grey than previous Kindles. Now, the lack of 3G is a deal breaker for me.

I did not like the Kindle Touch. Is light and the touch feature is also cool, but feels weird on my hands. I found the lack of page turn buttons a huge miss, at least for me. Also, the demo does not have access to settings I think, but did not turn or rotate, so like other have confirmed, does not provide landscape.

Sticking to my Kindle 3G keyboard.
