I am thankful I bought my current Kindle when I did, then. I truly like this the best out of all e-readers I have ever tried. It's so simple and basic.
And really, the only 'software feature' I am interested in, as tubemonkey wrote above, is the function of reading the books that go on it. Everything else I can just take or leave.
I hope that Amazon notices the people who actually like the non-touch screens and keeps that model alive. They can put all the bells and whistles they like on their other models. Some people just want and NEED the basics.
And yes, there are people with physical disabilities who would end up just throwing a touchscreen model across the room. A few of my senior friends who have shaky hands would phone me up angrily asking me what was going through my head when I recommended or bought "this blasted thing" for them. I do believe they'd be happier with the non-touch Kindle.
Add book, select book, read. Shouldn't be harder than that.
