I can understand taking a bite of a sandwich or a drink but unless you are reading so quickly that you are constantly turning pages it should be easy to do that while you are reading and then put it back down in time to turn the page again.

As JSWolf says, there are NO fingerprints. This is an e-reader not an iphone. The glass is totally different.
Yes, because the flaws of the old format MUST be carried over to the new format.

What am I doing with my free hand? Seriously? I'm multitasking. I'm writing notes about what I'm reading. I'm brushing my teeth. I'm carrying the Primary Cat away from Auxiliary Backup Cat so that they will stop fighting for two minutes. I'm eating a sammich.

Also, maybe I have a higher level of cleanliness than some folks, but I'm a bit tired of this meme that e-ink screens repel fingerprints like magic. My PocketBook 360 gets fingerprints on it, and it's not even a touchscreen. My mom's Sony 350 gets fingerprints. I've seen them, this isn't like Bigfoot or Nessie.
