I have experience of using both the Touch and NT. Currently I use the Touch, which is great but there are aspects of the NT which in my opinion allow a more physically comfortable user experience.

Namely the size/weight and the previous/next buttons.

I can hold the NT comfortably in one hand, with the Touch it is a little more awkward and also you have to leave your thumb free to navigate to the next page, so you have to balance it on your palm and four other fingers. With the NT your hand can stay in it's original and more sturdy position when clicking through to the next page.

I thought most people agreed that the buttons were a better option when reading through pages than having to touch the screen. This was one of the main criticisms of the Kindle Touch, many believing that it would have been significantly improved by having Previous/Next page buttons.

In fact I'll go as far as to predict that the next Kindle will have Touch screen as well as the Page next/previous buttons.
