Do you like to smear your screen everytime you turn a page?

Well, to repeat ad nauseum, the new Sony's have matte screens that do not pick up fingerprints easily and their IR touchscreen system doesn't even require that you actually touch the screen, just get close enough to break the beam. They are not like an iPad screen where you have to use your fingertip. Anything touching the screen will active it. I use my fingernails. If I'm eating something messy I use a toothpick, because I don't want to get the screen, buttons or stylus greasy.
As for the "true" ereader, it's whatever works for you. I can argue that the Kindle isn't a "true" ereader because it has the distracting keyboard at the bottom, making it bigger than it needs to be and having a distraction in my visual field. I love my Sonys and my PB360 because they are all almost all screen, my definition of a "true" ereader. But that's *my* definition. Everyone has different preferences which is why there are so many different readers to choose from. Get over thinking yours is the only right way.
