Longer Version: I picked up the test model at BJ's and pushed the only two buttons on the thing. Page turning is 2 handed, which is dumb, since the K3 is single-hand usable. I couldn't figure out how to get to various functions, since there's no 'menu' button, etc. It read OK, just like my K3, once I resigned myself to 2-handed operation, but I think it's a step backwards in reader interface. Sometimes touchscreens aren't the device of choice. (And I have a boatload of touchscreen PDA, so I'm not anti-touchscreen.)

Conclusion:
No Sale. YMMV
I am not sure how to use the device, therefore it is junk?

I find the Touch to be better at one-handed operation than any Kindle before it.
