Pros

E-ink touch-screen.
Battery life.
Storage.
Light weight.
Only e-reader with a 3G version.
Easy to page through books with left or right hand.
Ads are not intrusive.
It’s soothing to see page numbers that match up with the print world.

Cons

Screen can be a bit sensitive.
Menus are awkward.
Though you can see community notes and tweet your progress while reading.
The social layer is not as broad as the ones baked into the Nook and Kobo Touch 2.

With the original Kindle on sale at £89, the extra 30 quid seems a high price to pay for a touchscreen. For another £20, the Sony Reader PRS-T1 has a touchscreen and browser, plays music and all the rest, but it's lighter and a little more...
