I'm a very happy Kindle Keyboard (3G) user, then I thought I might want to buy a Kindle Touch...
I bought a Kindle Touch 3G at last, but returned it after using it for one week. The touch screen is too sensitive, it affects the way how I read a book, touch accidentally quite often, but I take it as a personal factor, it may be my problem only.
Some other factors which are disappointing:
1. Bad connection of the earphones. New earphones with mics have 3 lines on the metal part. Old earphones without mics have 2 lines on the metal part. Older versions of Kindle supports both, this Kindle touch supports only the older earphone.
Sorry that I'm not quite sure how to express it clearly, but just like this:
The latest Kindle Touch 3G supports old earphones only.
The older Kindle Keyboard 3G supports both old earphones and new earphones.
Amazon said it was the problem of the new earphones, I think it is their problem.
2. The 3G service is very limited, another big disappointment. You can use the 3G service to buy books, check Wikipedia, that's it. A cut-down version of 3G indeed. You can not go to Gmail from the Kindle Browser.
3. The speaker, though I use it not very often, has a much lower volume than other models. I think this is a hardware problem.
For the same reason, I don't like the Kindle Touch. My sister is now using Kindle Touch ($ 99 only), but I didn't like it.
