The problem with physical keyboards is that they take so much room! Devices without them can be more compact and really how often do you use the Kindle keyboard. For me at least it's all about opening books and turning pages, incredibly simple.
For that a touch screen would suffice and make for a far more elegant device. I think Amazon will go the touch route simply because other companies are doing it (Apple, Nook, Sony) and Amazon will see that as remaining competitive.
