This is actually a pretty good upgrade IMHO. The backlight is a huge upgrade - I have wanted this for years. And a sharper screen is always great. I bought a $79 Kindle last year (over the Touch) because it was smaller and had physical page turn buttons. I'm probably going to upgrade as soon as this is actually available. I'm not crazy about the lack of physical buttons, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Color e-ink would be great, but from what I hear, the performance just isn't there yet. Hopefully next year.
