A
poll here shows it is indeed an important factor for some.
I'm curious to get my handle on the new nook. Ergonomically, it's looks promising.
I wouldn't MIND having a touchscreen, but without a web browser at least as functional as the Kindles, there's not much I look forward to it for, except games. Does the new nook have games?
You can call the Kindles navigation buttons 'dated' or what have you, but they work just fine, and better in some cases than any touch screen for me and many others.
The Kindle nav buttons are imperfect but so is every touch UI I've tried.
Unless the touch interface works better for me than the Kindle, I personally would have no reason to get one.
Even as a just an additional ereader in the gadget collection, I think I'd probably wait and see what else comes out, be it a new firmware for the new nook or other new devices.
