Thanks guys! Now I just have to figure out how this works as it's an international Kindle. At the same time I would have to figure out if the new one can be delivered to a US address and still work in Norway. But this is not the place for that.

I will consider getting the non-touch one if it's as zippy or zippier than the K3. Since some of the other specs were apparently downgraded, I'm going to hold out until some opinions have come in.

For reference, $79 + UK VAT would be £60.54

Edit: Although I guess the UK one as listed doesn't have the ads, so the equivalent price would be £83, in which case we are only getting slightly shafted.

more than slightly -
1. we ( in UK) cant have the cheaper with special offers version
2. we can't order the touch ( US site takes US orders only)
3. ditto for Fire
