I suspect, sadly, that the K3 was the last kindle we'll ever see with a keyboard, but for me lack of physical page turn buttons is the deal killer. I had a touch and returned it because I had constant issues with it registering touches to turn pages, either no page turn or double page turns way too often to be acceptable. I'm still cranky about they losing the number keys on the K3, hitting alt all the time is a pain, but I guess I could learn to live with a touch screen as long as there were physical page turn buttons too. Nook got that bit right, unfortunately their software UI is terrible (the home and library bits, in book is fine).
