Your vote - keyboard or no keyboard on Kindle
Since this been going on for quite some time - I've decided to run a little poll which offers you to describe your attitude to keyboard on Kindle. Please vote, so that we could resolve this question once and for all. I've made my choice.

And put back the NUMBER keys or at least emboss the number values above the qwerty for the Alt-use.

I WANT a keyboard. One of the reasons I picked the cell phone I have is because it has a real keyboard.

There are plenty of readers without keyboards, I want mine with one! That's why I have a Droid, a physical keyboard is much easier for me to use than a virtual one. That's also why I don't own an iPhone.

Yes I love having the keyboard. I don't want a touch screen device so a keyboard is a must. It's very compact and neat.

It's an e-reader, not an e-writer. If you need a keyboard you are using it wrong...it's not an ipad or laptop

if I have to use the keyboard I'm using it wrong? ha ha!
I use mine for some class textbooks that are available on Amazon and write notes with my thoughts, questions, agreement, objections while I go through (which are then uploaded to my kindle.amazon.com site for easy reference). So, I'd say I'm using it more correctly than you are. BUT I think amazon could do well with a keyboardless, no wifi, no 3G, barebones ereader that they sell for $89. |

You are not taking advantage of the additional capabilities (which is your choice but that doesn't mean others are wrong for using the keyboard). |

I hate typing on a flat surface with no tactile feedback. It feels like I'm playing make-believe.
