Do all Pearl displays have the underlying touch sensitivity and Kindle just has it turned off? Or is there a Pearl display model that has no touch layer underneath (obviously Amazon would want this one)? Anyone know?

There's no touch sensitivity in any of the eInk screens (or in an LCD screen for that matter). That comes from a layer on top, or underneath for Wacom technology that requires a special stylus. The layer on top causes the reduced readability in the existing Sony models, although there are different technologies that don't have this impact. Presumably, Sony are planning to use one of those other technologies on top of the eInk layer, to improve readability.
