What's the diff?

Touch screen. No 3G. A bit smaller and a 2 month battery life.

Who needs a 2 month battery life?

I mean the Amish aren't buying ereaders.

Since I often forget to recharge my Kindle, a 2-month battery would be a plus

It's the Pearl screen too, but add the touch layer and that kills that.

I think the chess and sudoku are gone, as is the web browser.

not keen on touch screens, personally.
