After having used a Kindle 3 for a few months now, I've come to realize that there are certain things about it that a touchscreen would sort of ruin. It's a remarkably stress-free device. Some of the stress of using a tablet that an e-ink screen mitigates: 1. It's light and cheap enough that I'm much less afraid to drop it, both because it's light enough to more easily avoid dropping and because it's less likely to sustain damage from a drop and cheaper to replace if dropped and damaged. 2. I literally have never had to worry about charging it. I use Wordcycler to sync to Instapaper, which I guess means I have it plugged in often enough to have never had to explicitly charge it. 3. The non-touchscreen means I don't have to worry about accidentally touching the screen and causing an erroneous input. Which means I can hold it by the screen if that's most comfortable. Physical buttons mean that I know for sure when I've made an input. Truth is, there's very little I would change about the hardware of this device.
