New Kindle

zenza

TBH, I have never been tempted to use my Kindle (keyboard) for web browsing.  I have my phone for that.

As an ebook reader I find it excellent and not sure why I would feel the need for a touchscreen kindle.

Also the battery life is brill on the keyboard version.

Only thing I would like.

Faster searching, can take 5 mins sometimes
Expandable memory (SD) and user replaceable battery

More memory?! How many books do you need? I could get away with a 500MB Kindle, personally.

Berties

I didn't say more memory, I said expandable, as in replaceable.

I often read my Kindle propped up in bed ..... its far nicer to make the slightest touch to turn the page than grab hold of it and push the button.  OK its a lazy world we live it but I think its nicer UI.  Far quicker in accessing menus and selecting books/using the dictionary. Of course there is XRay and the 2 month battery life (improvement over £89 model) - smaller than KK too.  Definite advantages.

Thanks, nice to hear from a user

Does the e-ink look any different with the touchscreen (assuming you've seen both types)?

YankTank

No, they look just the same !

Berties

I'd just pickup KK since people will be upgrading.

IronGiant

Thanks YankTank, I'm tempted to look now

Expanding suggests adding not replacing.
