Having just gone through trying to introduce a 70 yr old non tech person to both the kindle NT and Touch to find out which was easier for them to use, the NT won out. For some reason using the buttons and remembering which did what was easier for them and the information was retained better with the NT than with the Touch screen and its zones, drop menus here, back button here, tap to turn page here, but on this page you can scroll down. Was just too many different concepts. With the NT this button is home page (book list), this the menu, this the keyboard, this turns your page etc.
The other thing that surprised me was I swear that the NT had a marginally better screen than the Touch and very close to my wonderful K3. I think they are all great really. Each individually suited to how we hold the reader and how we like to read.
