I agree. I would like a touchscreen for note taking, hilighting, even selecting books from the menu, but for turning pages I think the buttons on the side of the device, like the 505 has, make much more sense. Back when I read on a PDA I would almost always use the devices scroll button to change pages, not screen-tapping. The #1 thing I miss about those days, however, is the ability to hilight and take notes. I guess it just comes down to weighing what's most important for you.
