I have a Kindle Touch and even that is meh! But it's still better then the NT.

agree to disagree. I suppose I don't mind a touch screen for UI stuff. But I love having physical page turn buttons. I went K1 to K3 to K4BNT to Oasis. And I didn't find the NT model hard to use at all. It never bothered me...and still doesn't when I use it...that there is no touch screen. Mostly I'm just going in to settings to turn airplane mode on and off though. Otherwise I'm just using the directional pad to go up and down my book list.
I did recently buy an inexpensive refurb paperwhite 5 and I do like it more than I expected even though it has no page turn buttons. But...I don't know what they did but fingerprints show SO much more than they do on my Oasis. I hate it. And apparently I used a contaminated microfiber cloth or something to wipe the fingerprints so within 5 days I managed to put a scratch on the screen of the paperwhite even though my 14 year old K3, 10 yr old K5, and 5 yr old Oasis are all pristine. No scratches at all on any of them. So I'm not impressed with the ppw5 screen.
But I suppose this is now getting way off topic! Oops!
To bring it back around...I guess I'm very glad I still have and use my K4BNT since download & transfer is going away!
