My 2 kids were going to get me the Kindle Fire for Christmas but after watching this topic and learning more about other Kindles ( I don't have one now) I decided the new 3G Kindle Touch would be best for me. It has lots of neat features.
Also some have asked why pay all that money for books when you can go to the library for free. They have lots of books for $0.99 and all out of copyright books are free. Also you can get books from the library downloaded to the newer Kindles.
I want it because I travel lot and it will be so much more convenient. Also I often finish a book when the library isn't open. With the Kindle you can download anytime and as many as you want and they are yours to keep or give to others.
Here's a link to info about the new Kindle Touch.

I realized another good use with the Kindle vs. books - - while waiting for my husband, I finished reading one book - and was able to click right on and start another book without having the burden of carrying the second book in my bag "in case" I finish the first one. I have borrowed 3 books from the library and it went great - only problem was when I went to sign up for "The Help" found I was number 560 on a waiting list. Think I'll just spend the $9.99 and buy it. :-) Love my Kindle, so glad I bought it!

They have gone on sale on Amazon for preorders. The price is quite reasonable that way. My husband has ordered one that will be delivered around the middle of November. He is very enthused about all its features.

Anyone interested in deep discussion and information about the new Kindle Fire - what it does and what and why it doesn't do - just click on this link blow. It's Amazon's discussion forum. A lot of information available.

Hmm, doesn't look like a link here so might have to copy and paste.
