Long time Kindle fan Paul Thurrott's review (Supersite for Windows) was especially harsh concerning Touch. He called it 'deeply flawed' and 'a fail'. But while he has some good points I think his overall assessment was hasty and imbalanced. For example he doesn't seem to understand the concept of IR touchscreens.
