I have a 1, a 3, two DXs, and two new Touches. Of course the 1 is a more of a museum piece now. My middle daughter inherited the 3, my wife the first DX and my mother-in-law the other DX. My eldest daughter got my 2nd Touch for Christmas.

I still use the DX for reading PDFs and sheet-music, but the Touch is the best for reading books. Both of the touche's are ads option, but we hardly notice the ads. I could not stand the micro-button keyboards on any of the previous models.

I missed the page-turn buttons a little at first, even finding myself squeezing the bezel of the touch on a few occasions, but after I adapted to the tap method, I find it takes less attention. If I would change anything about the Touch, it would be to get rid of the power button and move its function to a long press of the home button. Better still, tap short-long for home and tap the home screen short-long for off. Tap off kindle short-long to turn it on.

I hate buttons.
