I'd agree if this were true. Rather, it simply appears that you aren't aware of the (necessarily) different shortcuts to accomplish the same operations on the KT.
For example: Bookmark a page by touching the top-right corner; pinch to change font size; etc.
All the shortcuts have not been discovered yet. Not by a long-shot. There will likely be some on the KK not replicated in some way on the KT, and other new ones only possible with a touch interface. In both cases, there will be people for which some shortcut is idispensible, and therefore the
other device will be nothing more than a steaming pile bat guano for lacking it.
However, the KT is most certainly not lacking clever shortcuts to avoid 236 touches through 184 menus to increase the font size :-)
The true crime here is this game Amazon plays with its customers failing to fully document all features of the UI, on every reader, instead leaving it to to community to play Lewis & Clarke and "discover" them.
