Regarding the frontlight, I don't think I need the extra contrast. I can read for hours on the older eInk and when I was trying out the new kindle I found the contrast fine and not much different than the typical paperbacks I have. The same is more or less true for the touch interface. I can hardly see how that improves the experience during normal reading (I don't do web browsing and I rarely have more than 15 books on the device). So, at least for me, the extra cost for just newer softwar and features I don't need is probably unwarranted.
Unfortunately (or fortunately) all manufacturers are going for frontlight and touch, so soon they will not be optional. I will try to see if I can at least try out a paperwhite or kindle touch before buying.
Thanks again
