The Debian distribution is a bit light-weight when it comes to touch screen oriented applications.

The yocto project (which is for touch screen devices (phones) ) is another source of applications.

I think twobob has used/re-used/abused/mangled/ported/etc stuff from the yocto project.

We (twobob and I) have done some rather extreme things to/for Kindles - mostly not for the code or application - but to encourage people to open their minds to the possibilities.

The Kindle Touch is probably still the only e-book reader with an end-user configurable, speaker independent, voice recognition system (all twobob's doing, I just cheered him on).

And the Kindles are probable the only e-book readers that can run IBM-360 mainframe operating systems and programs (including the program development toolchain).

So if you have a 360-Cobol application that you simple MUST run on your Kindle -
we got what you need posted here (and/or in public repositories linked to from here).
