They can put a touch screen on the Kindle if:
1) They guarantee that I would never, ever have to use it if I didn't want to. There has to be a hard-key equivalent for every single feature/function that the touch screen provides.
2) Screen clarity/contrast is not affected in any way. Not even a little bit. Zero, nada, zip, zilch.
3) It doesn't increase the price. Period.
Otherwise... I'm all for it.
