It works exceptionally well.

You bough a touch Kindle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.... did not know that ...
...
Here are my reasons (very personal) why I still prefer the Kindle keyboard
-Lack of landscape
-No options for buttons
-Restricted ability to browse some websites
Not sure if #1 and #3 were fixed via software and I don't own one. So those two are based on what I read and the time I played with it in Target store here in USA.
I don't mind touch screen, but I also like buttons. But the main reason I am not buying one at this moment, is the lack of landscape mode. It is difficult for me to read some computer books in portrait, can't read the T-SQL code very well.
The feature that still puts the Kindle ahead Nook, at least internationally, is the 3G stuff. I can't use a Nook in Colombia (online store I mean, or download books I have on the cloud) , unless I find wifi. And trust me, wifi is common un Europe and USA, but some latin countries we're 5 or 10 years behind technology. Just to give you an idea, we're getting iTunes just now, after how many years, 10? ... lol ...
