A consideration no-one else has mentioned...

I have over 4000 books and dozens of collections. I administer my library using Calibre, with the Kindle Collections plugin. This makes collection creation and maintenance a breeze, BUT for reasons known only to Amazon, the Kindle Touch cannot be controlled using this incredibly useful software. Amazon have made the collections mechanism in the Touch inaccessible to the Calibre/Kindle Collections combo, but it is still possible to use it for either the Kindle NonTouch or the Kindle Keyboard.

I should not enjoy having to create my collections one book at a time!

In my case, this is reason enough to prevent my buying the Touch.
