I understand that you've seen a slew of messages regarding how sensitive the devices are, which may have given a somewhat exaggerated impression. Having worked with the screen since it came out last autumn, (and admittedly not knowing your exact situation) it's possible your certainty that you couldn't use such a device might be unfounded.

Thanks.
I appreciate that.
I do play around but unfortunately I was serious about the touching of the screen. Depending on how I'm sitting or lying, I hold the reader on the sides or bottom and the hands and fingers twitch and do touch the screen or sometimes just flip the whole darn thing over and I end up increasing font size or going to the home page. LOL Oh well, we all have to deal with what we have to deal with. I choose to laugh at myself. Life's too short to cry all the time.
But it was/is a genuine concern of mine with regards to the touch screen readers. I have played with them in the stores but it's hard to get a real feel with the units being tethered or anchored to a display stand so I was looking to read how everyday users deal with accidental touching of the screen.
Otherwise everything else looks fabulous about the unit - smaller, lighter in weight, brighter, more memory etc. The price is certainly attractive. An off button for the touch would be awesome but I doubt they'll go that way.
