I really don't care for touchscreen at all on a dedicated e-reader. On a device like the iPad which does a LOT more than just e-readering it is pretty handy though.

Color is a big deal for me though, the new Kindles need color so they can sell as a magazine reader, comic reader and full color newspaper reader. At the moment it's a bit limited. The problem for Amazon may be that large scale mirasol production could be months off, and Amazon need a response to iPad pretty soon or risk losing a lot of DX buyers at that $500 price point.
