If enough people ask for that option, perhaps Amazon will offer it, but I wouldn't buy it. Being someone who constantly writes notes in the margins of paperbooks, I find the keyboard to be extremely useful. And even for folks who don't, the ability to quickly type a word and look it up in the dictionary comes in very handy at times. These days, I find myself going to the Kindle before the paper dictionary that sits atop my desk because it is so quick and convenient. The keyboard is also great for shopping in the Kindle store or researching an item in Wikipedia.
