Yes, the iTouch screen is small, but, as I have learned -- that is not an issue. In fact it can be an advantage (another story).
Since I must read with glasses anyway, the size of my iTouch screen is not a problem.
I own and use both the Sony 350 and 650 readers. I seldom use them these days; the iTouch is sharper, clearer and more convenient. And, don't forget, I can read any ebook in any format with any DRM that is available. No other reader can do this.
My iTouch is the most versatile ereader I own or have tested. Try one and see for yourself.
On the Down-Side: the iTouch does need recharging after about 20 hours of reading (WiFi off, reading only). It is more 'technical' than the kindle which is marvelous for folks who have the money and who are not computer geeks. It fades in direct sunlight. About the only time I use my Sonys is when I choose to read outside in our glider or a chair at the table amidst the flower garden my dear Nancy keeps!
If folks like Sony don't realize just how useful, effective and convenient the iTouch/iPhone with the "Retina" devices are. they are going to fade and fade very soon. I, for one, don't want that to happen.
