Not necessarily. I've swiped with one hand, just using my thumb.

It's all about preferences though... for me, the nook has what Kindle doesn't, the ability to borrow ebooks from my library. And I like the swipe... much nicer for me than constantly button pushing. And the touchscreen is easy to clean.

So far, I've not found the touchscreen to be a particular problem for reflection. I mean it does, any glossy black surface will do that, but I just position it so it isn't bothering me. An anti-glare screen protector also helps and diminishes fingerprints.

At any rate, no buyers remorse here, the nook is working out well. Is it perfect? No... I'd like longer battery life, lighter weight and most importantly, more organization. (I know I can get the latter via softroot, but promised hubby not until the extended warranty expires, sigh.)
