It has arrived!
That only took almost a month... but today my Kindle Touch arrived with FedEx delivery. I've unpacked it and it's charging through it's ugly white USB cable now, and once that's done I will add it to my amazon account and make sure all my books go on it properly.
First impressions: Small screen. Feels good to hold. Not a fingerprint magnet. Good contrast on the screen, if the "I am now charging and you can't use me until I'm done"-message is anything to go by. Defaults to USB mode, very, very good, I like that.
I will read on it later, after all charging and other things are done, and see how that goes.

everyone who posted and helped me decide.
