Kindle owner *sadly* disappointed by today's announcement

Hi! I'm looking for something to replace my 4-yo KK. (Or 3 years? Can't remember.) However, I really hate the current lineup of Kindles. This is what I want:

1) No touch screen navigation whatsoever. I hate touch screens on every device I have ever used.

2) At least the same battery life as my KK.

3) Must have easy highlighting functionality (one click or so) but I don't care about taking notes.

4) Customizable screensavers would be a plus, and having the current book cover as a screensaver would be an even bigger plus.

5) Customizable margins would be a plus (using a hack is okay- that's how I customize the margin size on my KK)

6) Epub compatibility would be nice, but really, I'm perfectly happy with .mobi files.

7) I don't care about the light technology

8) I don't care at all about the amount of storage

Anybody have advice? I'm just really upset that Amazon is moving away from hardware page turn buttons and that the basic Kindle has such a small battery. Thanks!
