They're pretty much the same in terms of speed and dimensions. The Touch has a slightly thicker bezel, but that's about it. Since they're both at firmware version 5.3.x now, there are only minor differences in the software. So for me, the differences boil down to:
- Paperwhite has better resolution, and light.
- Touch has Audio capabilities (music, audiobooks, Text-to-Speech), and about 2.5x as much usable storage space.
- Touch can always be debricked through USB, Paperwhite can't.
