I want to take advantage of the great deals Amazon has so I think I'll get a Kindle. I like e-ink screens. I don't want to spend much as I feel like I've invested too much into e-readers already (though the Nook Tablet is my daughter's.) I'm trying to decide between the cheap $79 Kindle and the $99 Kindle Touch. Is it worth the extra $20?

Thanks!

I should add that I have gotten a ton of Kindle e-books to read on my iPad or computer, but I don't like to read on backlit screens, so I haven't read many of them. I know there are great deals as I've taken advantage of them. It's more like I want to take full advantage of the deals. Having the books is only half the battle. Having them on a device I enjoy reading on is the other half.
