I opted for the Touch because I -do- need the extra storage space. Not everyone has only a collection of ten 400-500kb AZW/MOBI files, after all.

Yes, I miss the page-turn buttons. No, I don't miss the landscape mode. Yes, I do have files which need the extra space (PDF files, which I find work rather well on the Touch, are fairly easy to navigate now, ditto some manga and comics which I've converted to PDF and MOBI format - although the latter runs into the image-size limit that Amazon seems to have imposed in this latest version of the software). I also have omnibus novels/collections which take anywhere between 3-4 MB of space each... so a hundred of those is about 400MB, or almost half the Kindle 4 Basic/NT's storage

Plus, I find the web browser (for downloading my files from Box.net or Dropbox) works better on the Touch than it did on the K3; faster to render pages, easier to navigate. The 5.0.3 update did fix the responsiveness issues as well with the touchscreen - at least Amazon seems to have listened to the complaints of the early adopters with regards to that part. In fact, I sometimes find it a little TOO responsive now, as my fingers may not move away from the screen fast enough to avoid a double-tap.

I've found the extra $20 to be worth it, even if I miss my page turn buttons. I've already got almost a gig used right now of 3... and I haven't loaded my full library on there yet either.
