On e-ink, I don't think my Nook really gets fingerprints, per se, at least, they're not visible. I'd love a Sony 650 or the like, but they're not worth the price premium to me.

I'd probably disable page turning via touch though - I found myself accidentally turning pages on my NC when putting it down, or when the kids distract me, or whatever. Can you do that? I like the buttons much better.

But the touch would be nice for selecting books, navigating menus, etc on an e-ink device.
I never use the touchscreen to go to a next page (or I should say: almost never). I prefer buttons for that.

And about fingerprints, I prefer using a stylus to touch my screens. Not that you see fingerprints (because you really have to look closely to see them!), but because I have a better control using a pointy stylus, instead of these wide fingertips...
