I'm fairly happy with my Kindle 4 too. I like having physical buttons, and it's very light.

The comments around this forum suggest that the current Kindle Touch is a little too trigger-happy, to the point of being unusable, but I've not experienced any page-turn quirks with the K4.

I've shown my 11-year-old the new Kindles, including the Paperwhite, but she says she'd be happy with something more like mine (i.e. the newer darker-bezel Kindle NT).

The only improvements I'd like to see with the K4 would be better fonts and improved contrast - some of which they've done with the new non-touch model - the usability with the 5-way controller and page-turn buttons is perfect for me. Darkening the bezel is a smart move too.

I may upgrade to the illuminated model later, but the ideal would be a non-touch Paperwhite.
