I would say I am "intrigued" but go no further.

I have a wifi unit that is doing quite well for me, and which may yet receive a tweek or two via firmware...and at the risk of sounding negative, given the recent history of the handheld electronics industry and Kobo too, I think we'll be talking about a "Kobo Colour" a scant 11.5 months from now. And then I would have 2 e-readers facing dust-collection duty.

So yeah, the Touch sounds neat...but it only just occurred to me the other day that a new model probably means an update to the desktop app, and maybe a "parity" update to older models where possible...so new bells and whistles there to play with.
