Sony did have a touch screen with the 700, 600, & 900. But the problem was that they used a touch layer over the eink screen. The x50 line uses IR under the Pearl screen. You can use your fingers, a stylus, or even a Q-tip. There is nothing on top of the screen to get in the way of the clarity. And because it's a matt finish, the fingerprints aren't much of an issue. Sure you'll eventually see them. But a wipe with a microfibre cloth will handle that.
So let's get Sony and Amazon together to come out with the one reader to read them all. The one reader to lead them all. If they did that, forget all the others.
