I am so torn, people with experience please weigh in.

Pros of kindle touch:
audio features. (How well does this work, do you use the read to you function? how many books support it?)
I have heard it's more "sturdy" than the Basic.

Cons of Kindle Touch:
No page turn buttons
Im leery of new touch screens (what if it fails)

Pros of Basic Kindle:
Cheap
Page turn buttons

Cons of Basic Kindle:
No audio
Heard it sort of "flimsy"

Pros of Nook Simple Touch:
Has page turn buttons
Seems to have better brand recognition (perhaps better quality?)

Cons:
No audio
Also touch screen personal issues (does it have tap to turn?)

MArket places are irrelevant as I could adapt to any market place and borrow books from friends. Initially I am thinking it is down to the two touch models, unless you tell me the touch has been failing in some cases.

I appreciate any help.
