I personally would prefer touchscreen (like Sony), and I could not care less for a physical keyboard. I barely use the keyboard on the nook (most of the time I use it is to look for a book in my library, or look up a word in the dictionary), which are very short operations and do not warrant a physical keyboard. On a touchscreen it would not be needed for (2), like on the nookcolor, tap on a word and bring up the definition - nice and simple. I still prefer physical buttons to turn pages though, no need to smudge the screen with your fingerprints to turn pages. Also, the touchscreen on the Sony is done via infrared beams, which means you can use a stylus or actually anything to trigger a touch event, that's a step up from the previous generation where the touch sensitive was an additional layer on the eInk, creating a loss of contrast and sharpness.
