The Kindle Touch's touch design differs significantly from most that of most rival e-readers. The larger region to the right--effectively stretching from the center of the page to the right edge--is reserved for moving to the next page.
The design is amenable to taps from either the left hand or the right hand. And the ability to reach farther into the midsection of the page lessened the disadvantage of working with such a deeply inset screen (Amazon says that the inset was necessary for its touch technology--but it's noticeably thicker, by millimeters, than the inset on the competing Barnes & Noble Nook Simple Touch and Kobo eReader Touch Edition).
There's no visual slider, and you can't see where you are at glance—two features that both Barnes & Noble's Nook Simple Touch and Kobo's eReader Touch Edition offer.
I didn't like the prominent link to the Kindle Store from within a book, either. Overall, the menu design felt unnecessarily cluttered.
The Kindle Touch isn't set up to show your books visually, as Nook Simple Touch, the Kobo eReader Touch, and even the Sony Reader Wi-Fi PRS-T1 do. The Kindle Touch lets you choose from eight font sizes, including one of the largest I've seen on any e-reader. The screen doesn't rotate, either, unlike the screen on the basic, nontouch Kindle.
The Kindle Touch also supports pinch-and-zoom in PDF viewing; and in this respect its implementation is better than the Sony Reader Wi-Fi's. As before, Kindle has Audible audiobook support.
The Kindle Touch lets you tap a word to look it up, or to make a notation or highlight.
The Kindle Touch's 6-inch display has a 600-by-800-pixel resolution, at 167 pixels per inch. Text looked a bit fainter on this model than on the updated Nook Simple Touch, the Kobo eReader Touch, or the Sony Reader Wi-Fi. It measures 6.8 by 4.7 by 0.4 inches, and weighs just 0.47 pound (for the Wi-Fi version) or 0.49 pound (for the 3G version). The Nook Simple Touch has a charcoal-black bezel, while the Kobo and Sony e-readers have a pitch-black bezel. Along the bottom edge are micro-USB and headphone ports, plus a power/sleep/wake button. New with the Kindle Touch and its nontouch sibling is the ability to share books via the public library system.
