While I agree that touchscreens are a pain (especially when combined with slow technology such as eInk) I'd have to admit that they are very nice in eReaders because they save space. You don't use keyboard in ereaders that often and having a full qwerty keyboard for the rare times you do is an overkill.

I personally do not think it is an overkill and would always choose a device with a physical keyboard - no virtual keyboard I have ever tried is nowhere near the physical keyboard typing experience and I do use the keyboard a lot (also while reading a book - searching dictionary for parts of words, taking notes, not talking about the special navigation buttons which are certainly more convenient than any virtual buttons). I do think that a touchscreen would be nice once in a while but I would only like to have it together with the physical keyboard and the current keyboard-based organization.
