I'm torn.
On the one hand, I do see the value of a well-executed touch screen. Touch is almost essential for making highlights and looking up words quickly.
On the other hand, there are times that I want my touch screen OFF. If I'm just reading a pleasure book, the touch screen has no use for me (physical page turn buttons FTW) and it's potentially detrimental if my finger slips. (My husband is ALWAYS accidentally turning the pages on his Nook Color because he has huge thumbs and the flesh of his thumb hangs over the edge of the device and onto the screen. It's very frustrating for him.) And I can't count how many times my cats have walked on my eReader screen.
So, really, I like the "touch is ok, but physical buttons please" option, but it would make a BIG difference for me if there was, say, a physical switch that turned the touch interface on and off. That would be awesome. If someone came out with that, I would so be there.
