Digital photo frame: Kindle Touch vs Kindle Keyboard

In the midst of hacking my newly acquired Kindle keyboard I got myself another Kindle: this time a Kindle Touch 3G. I intended to use one as the photo frame and another as my ebook reader.

Now, which to use for my digital photo frame?

The Touch, being slimmer without a keyboard, would be easier to conceal within a frame. Not to mention that my Keyboard came with a leather case and I like it a lot. The Touch seems like a natural choice.

Until I got down to hacking it. After the usual jailbreaking and stuff, I found out that the Touch only supports PNG. This, while my Kindle keyboard can support jpg, gif and images of all shapes and sizes. Ended up using the Kindle Touch anyway.
