One thing I didn't notice others mentioning. If you get the special offers Kindle, then later on decide you can't stand the offers, you can go to your Manage Kindle page and pay the amount you were discounted in the original price ($30-40, I think). The offers go away and you then have a normal Kindle--this is the only way to get rid of the offers, BTW. At least the offers appear only in the screensaver or on the index pages of the Kindle and NEVER while you're reading a book.
If you can afford it, go for the Touch. The $80 Regular is super tempting, but remember that you can surf the internet (more or less) on the Kindle Experimental Brower. Imagine typing a URL using a 5-direction button to scroll through the keyboard. It. Will. Take. FOREVER. Even if you never browse, imagine tapping out notes, or searching for a new book... Touch. Definitely Touch.
