kindle touch vs. kindle 4 nt

[Joykins]

I'm in the market for a kindle. Looked at it in the store, and of course can't decide! So I'm asking for input about the best things you like/worst things you dislike about both models.

My personal preferences: page turn buttons. I often read holding the device in my left hand and want to turn pages with my left hand. Not having to enter text through 5-way controller ( ). Cheap price. Long battery life. Navigating a large library of books. I'd also like to sometimes manage my collections through calibre, or have the option. You see why I'm in a tossup here. I will mainly use the device to read, so I feel I could LIVE with the 5-way controller as long as I don't type much. I don't take notes or highlights. I think the landscape would be neat to have, especially for pdfs and poetry, but it also isn't a make-or-break. 3G is the same way. I do think the keyboard has nearly everything I want, but I don't like the price or the size.

Your thoughts? Or should I just bite the bullet and buy the keyboard model? I almost did buy it at Best Buy after looking at the models, but they don't stock them much anymore because the other 2 models are so much more popular. Also I don't want to spend nearly twice as much.
