I would withhold judgement about Kindle Touch until putting in some hours with it, especially if you've never used a touch interface before. I was a little unimpressed at first (being very much enthralled with my Fire), and even seriously considered returning it for a refund, but once I was able to spend more time with it, I decisively prefer it to my KK and am even feeling a little bad about passing along my KK to my wife to upgrade her from our K2, knowing how much better I like KT.
So I think it is pretty good as it is. Navigation of the interface is significantly better, typing is easier, and I am glad to be finally rid of the 5way and the less versatile keyboard (with the tedious sym table, inability to enter diacritics, etc.). PDF support is significantly better as well (TTS, hyperlink support, PDF bookmark navigation, fit-to-width mode with auto panning navigation).
My complaints right now concern lack of orientation options, more prevalent 'ghosting' than my K3 has, some regression in text selection, and lack of K4's internationalization features. I look to Amazon to address these in an update.
