The one on the left is fine, except that I had the MCP joint in my left thumb surgically fused a few years ago, so pressing that one is a bit of a challenge. I'm really looking forward to Sony's new touch-screen reader, which is supposed to be very sensitive, with no loss of sharpness and nice contrast.

I have tried the new 650 and found the touch screens to be very nice. The amount of swiping/pressure you need is very light. So that should be good for you.The new Sony's no longer have the touch layer so they are very clear now.
