Just to give the question a little bit more context:

I'm going to buy a pocketboock 90x and I'm trying to evaluate if I should go with the 902 model (no touchscreen, no 3G) or the 903 (touchscreen, 3G).
I know I will never use the 3G, and so I'm trying to evaluate what can be a "right" price for the touchscreen feature. In this particular case the price difference is 70€ (329€ vs 399€).
Personally I'm wavering between the 2 models but I think I will buy the 902.

On a simple eink device you click and turn the page, that's it. My finger is always there or close so is an easy process.

For a simple book or novel the only advantage with a touchscreen is press the word for open a dictionary. It's sometimes slower because in some Android apps the dictionary is on the web.
The fact that you own a tablet which takes time to open the dictionary as it doesn't have it on board is irrelevant when the ereaders in question do have their dictionaries right on board... Your buying decision is hardly the OP's fault.
