Think about it. The cost of manufacture has become the first concern. The Kindle has a keyboard, which must cost much less.

B&N has to face facts: the touch screen adds nothing to the reading part of the experience and actually is confusing to a lot of readers.

It also adds a large drain on the battery.

Finally it is bright and shiny and glares in a dim room, which always annoyed me.

I know that there will be partisans who absolutely *love* the touch screen.

They should start the mourning process now.
I'm with you.
