All the improvements listed by @l_macd may or may not differentiate the PW from the Touch enough to rule out a 2nd generation Touch. If Amazon continues to offer non-lighted, touch screen eInk readers then I would say the PW is a new branch of Kindle eInk with lighted touch screens. If Amazon discontinues non-lighted, touch screen eInk readers then I would say the PW was in fact a 2nd generation Touch. I guess we will find out later this year, probably in the Fall, once Amazon announces its new eInk Kindles.
