YMMV
You've obviously never used an eink device with a touchscreen (not an overlay type touchscreen). The Sony x50 screen leaves very little noticeable fingerprints. I have one so I know from experience. Also, they come with a stylus if you want to use that. But for page turns, you don't need the stylus and the swiping is just so good. Take a look at the iPad 1. It has fingerprints all over the place. But my 650? Nope. It doesn't. And I clean it once in a while. But I don't have to do it every day.
