I vote for Kindle Touch 2:
  • It has the same resolution (800x600)
  • as opposed to PW, it lacks built-in light
  • it looks like KT with faster CPU and without audio
  • the product page title says: "Kindle Touch Screen E-Reader"
I mentioned the similarities in the Kindle Voyage thread. It is also shares almost the same dimensions (6.7"x4.7"x.4") and weight (6.7 ounces) with the (original) Touch. I think Kindle Touch 2 would be the best way to describe it. It also has all the same features as the Touch (actually a few more), including X-Ray and Translate. It doesn't support sound, however.
