A touchscreen done well would be quite nice. Since the one they currently use interferes with the overall quality of the screen, it seems more of a gimick they used to differentiate themselves than a move towards a higher quality reading experience. I figure since I spend the vast majority of my time reading and the most used control is the page turn, which I find is accomplished more easily with a well-placed button, I just couldn't see sacrificing the fundamentals for a touchscreen. I might use it for navigating to a new book or looking up a word. It would be faster than the D-Pad, but I'll take the D-Pad over a fuzzy screen.
