I still have a K2 which I use around the house, and a K3 which lives in my bag. Also have a Xoom which I sometimes use for late night reading when I don't want to disturb Mrs Weird, but e-ink is massively better in all other situations.
I actually prefer the bigger page buttons on the K2, but the K3 screen is much better and the weight is just right. I also like how the K3 just feels solid, but not precious, no shiny plastic or chomed effect to scratch or show finger prints, just a simple reading workhorse. I think they really hit the sweet-spot with the K3 - it just works. My only dislikes about the K3 are the standard fonts, but easily fixed with the font hack, and Amazon's DRM, also easily side-stepped.
I can't see any advantage to touch screen on an e-reader - I don't want to keep moving my thumb over the area I'm reading, or leave big sticky finger prints on it when I read while eating my lunch. Therefore no upgrade for me - a major improvement such as a flexible display or full colour might shift me, but the price would have to be in the same range as the current models. Better display resolution and a truely white background would be nice, but still not enough to pay for. For now I'd rather spend my money on books to read.
