I am loving the Kindle Touch and and happy to have it over the KK. Before that, I had a K4 and would prefer that over the KK too.
I thought I would prefer the physical page turn buttons but i am really liking the touch to turn and swipe to move pages on the home screen.
Also loving the new lighted cover.
Very happy with my upgrade but I realize it isn't for everyone. I am glad that Amazon thought to keep the Kindle Keyboard going
