PB302 is hardly supported anymore and does not do what it is said to do (e.g. Internet). Whatever you do, do not buy the 302! It is PB's headache machine and they are trying to ignore it as much as possible. As for the other models, I don't really know. Firmware is not 'final' for any of the PB product line. And as they never finalised it for the 302 who knows if they will ever finish the firmware for the other newer models?
A touch screen because of pdf-files? Don't think e-ink can compare to computer touchscreens. It will not allow smooth scrolling with your finger. It simply isn't up to it. Not on a Pocketbook reader, nor on any other e-ink device.
