With the Kindle I would have to use the cursor and navigate it to the word I wanted the definition. The best analogy would be using a keyboard to move the cursor on a PC screen vs. using the mouse. While it can be done and it works, it's just more of a painful experience.

I disagree. While the touch screen has some cool benefits, especially for games, and the Kindle 5-way is imperfect, I find it more precise for lookups. On my PRS-350, I often tap the wrong word, or have to tap two or three times to get effect. The Kindle dictionary feature, which requires no clicks, just movement, is quick and precise. I also prefer Kindle for selecting books, both using the five way, or simply typing a title on the keyboard. Plus it keeps fingerprints off the screen.
To each his own. My big oily fingers are better suited to the Kindle. I can see how small dry fingers could prefer a touch screen.
