I emailed them with some questions about the Touch Screen color. This is their reply:

"We should have a leather cover for the AEBK08FB available in about a month. You can only purchase and download ebooks wirelessly from Kobobooks.com. The ebooks sold by Barnes & Noble and Amazon will only open on their respective e-readers or devices that support their software. They will not open on the Libre Touch. The Libre Touch can run apps but it has not been tested with quickoffice. Any app must be compatible with Android 1.5."

Looks like I would have to root it to get the apps I want. 1.5 android is too old! I don't want to be the first to root one, so I guess I will pass.
