I have an android phone that is touch that I read on and I have to say I love it! You just touch the sides of the screen and the page turns. After I got my phone I went back to my K3 and found out I really hated the five way button on it and navigation just seem to take too long after using a touch screen and getting faster results.
It was hard for me to go back to my beloved Kindle.
It's so much easier and faster just to touch the menu option instead of having to click a button several times to get down to the option you want. I never played with a regular Kobo before I assume it is similar in nature?
I've been waiting for a touch screen since I got use to my phone so today was a good day for me when I saw the announcement for the Kobo Touch!
I buy alot from Kobo and have kept my eye out on the Kobo reader for a long time but was waiting for a pearl screen. Once you seen and used a pearl screen you just can't go back to old kind. My old pocket pro looks like a washed out newspaper and the pearl screen on my Kindle the text is so nice and dark I don't need alot of light to read with. I love pearl! The Kobo Touch has the same screen so I know the reading will be just as good and the comfort of using it better.
