PRS350. It's a great screen and a great touch system for a reader, don't get me wrong, but I do need to keep the cleaning cloth handy, especially after playing chess on PRS+.

And keeping your thumb in one place pushing the same button won't maybe cause RSI? It's like getting RI from using a mouse.
Maybe an ergonomics expert or a doctor can chime in.
I prefer the buttons like on the Kindle or classic nook. My wife doesn't seem to mind the touching page turns on her iPod Touch, but she already has arthritis, so what does she know.
My 8-year old son's the main reader on the Sony, and he things the touch thing is cool for turning pages.

As for the finger prints, you'd hate anything with an LCD screen as you'd be really bothered by the fingerprints
Yes, I am. I hate it when people touch my computer screens.
We do have a protector from the Apple store on the iTouch that does a remarkable job, though, but I'm not the main user of that. Maybe it would bug me if I had to use it more.

The exisiting wifi is the same size (and fits many of the same cases) as the K3, and this Touch is clearly a very different size than the K3.
