I'll probably get one, I just got the most recent kindle touch after selling the 2nd generation kindle for it. Looks like I'll be moving on to my 3rd kindle.
There's something about the price point that really sells me on these...$120 doesn't seem like a big deal, specially if I sell my current generation, it only ends up costing maybe ~$50 to upgrade and reading on an ultra light kindle is a lot more comfortable to me than an iPad or physical book.
It sounds like they wont have a non-touch model this time though. I like all the new features but I would probably go back to a non-touch screen if they offered it. I tend to hit the screen too often by mistake and end up losing my place.
There were both touch and non-touch Kindle e-ink readers announced. The non-touch Kindle does not have the "Paperwhite" screen but it is super fast and light weight, and it's now $69...
I've been waiting to take my Kindle Paperwhite home for some time now; I love the front-lit screen.
