Touchscreen without a physical keyboard taking up space for me. I agree it's simply personal preference here for everyone what they choose.
I use my reader just for reading. I don't need, or want, a keyboard taking up valuable space. The Kindle was not an option for me because of it (among other factors). When I do use the touchscreen keyboard on the Sony, yes, there's some lag, but you don't need to stop typing because of it... the keystrokes have always caught up to me after I finished, so I really don't see any advantage over the speed of a physical keyboard input.
But again, personal preference for each of us, which probably also is based on what other devices we have. My phone is more than enough for my little bit of internet use (I should clarify, little use while outside), so I really don't have any need to want any net access on my reader.
