I just acquired the Touch and am very happy with it. It is very sturdy, and you don't need to hardly press the screen to turn pages, it is very sensitive and aproaching the finger (very close though) is enough.

I am also an exclusive Linux user, and have been usin it succesfully to sideload. You can of course do it as a USB drive, but I would recommend using Calibre since it is easier at converting formats and manage the bookshelf. Furthermore, you can use the DeDRM tools on Linux too (as they are Python based), so that you secure your collection for the eternity. Collections, however, require registration. You cannot manage collections with Calibre with the Touch, you need to do this from the Touch (and having subcollection support would be a plus, but as far as I understand collections are tags, not subfolders).
