The Kindle you are still navigating via a joystick or a directional buttons. This is not by anyway shape or form modern technology. Compareably speaking.
The Kindle is further behind than Nook and Sony.
(sigh)

For the 9,000 time, a touchscreen does not make an e-reader more advanced. It is one feature that some people like and some people hate. I hate touchscreens and don't want one on my e-reader. Just because you think it is cool does not make the Kindle the least advanced of the readers. The joystick on the DXG works fine for me.

As for more advanced, the Kindle has a functional browser, text to speech, and collections all of which are missing from the Nook.

Personally, a battery draining, LCD screen that shows thumbnail size color book covers is not something that excites me.
