Page turning buttons are the killer feature for me. I've tried reading for 4-5 hours with the touch, and having to the screen all the time made it as bad as reading on an iPad for me. The font is also kind of crappy, but I can live with it - not really a make-it/break-it deal.
After reading on the Gen1, and Gen2, I've stuck with a Gen 3 Kindle, and I'm hoping Amazon comes out with an eReader with a combination of backlighting (I have the Leather case with Light) and great buttons. (The Gen3 are a little stiff - much, much better than the "You touch it, you turn the pages Gen1" - but still not what I'm really looking for - I guess button are really hard to do properly.)
I'm also hoping for better battery life - I usually blow through my battery in a couple days of heavy reading, so I always end up having to carry a hyperjuice when camping to get through a full week of reading - it would be great to have a kindle that gives you a full week of nonstop reading.

I much prefer the Kindle Keyboard because of it's page turning buttons. However, the Paperwhite has replaced my iPad as my reading device of choice for after my wife goes to sleep.
