It makes no sense to me that they discontinued the Touch and then turned the K4 into a Touch. Why not just discontinue the K4 and lower the price of the Touch? That's basically what it amounted to.
The K5 released in September 2012 as referred to in your list wasn't a touch Kindle-it was as Nate said the same basic Kindle with buttons and no touch screen--just black instead of gray.
The basic Kindle with Touch was released in October of 2014 (about the same time the Voyage was released).
