I'm one who also wouldn't want to use a touch-screen for an e-reader, finger prints are a rather offending mark.
Given that most of the time with any e-reader you're going to be wanting to move-forward to the next page, I prefer the way the K3 does it.
Yes, when it comes to browsing and selecting links on a graphical page using the 5-way can be a bit cumbersome but given that I personally mostly buy my books via my PC (which then just appears on the K3) about the most I have to do with the 5-way is to select it from the book list.
Touch screens are a wonderful technology and I dearly wish my 10" laptop had it so I could just touch-click on the WWW links I wanted to go to; however for an e-reader I do enjoy just holding it by the edges and being able to move back/forth with a simple in-position thumb press that doesn't impart my bodily oils onto the screen.
We all have our reasons for our preferences and choices; these preferences don't imply a technological strata.
