It'd definitely make it quicker to search up words if I can just tap on it rather than clicking the up button half a dozen times.
Touch screens make it harder, not easier, to do things like accurately highlight text and look words up in a dictionary. On my touch-screen Sony PRS-350 I'm constantly getting the wrong word selected when I tap the screen - it's just nowhere near as accurate as the Kindle's selection cursor.

Plus the fact that I can't stand reading from a screen that has fingerprints all over it.
