I've thought it over. In ten years we'll all be saying, why oh why couldn't they keep it simple like the kindle 3.

It is corny to have a virtual bookshelf. I like how kindle does it. Just titles. Not shelfari. I like how the kindle company tells you to email it on that one screensaver and in the experimental page.

It's about reading. Maybe touch is good. I think touch is fun for ereading. You're actively engaged with reading. You're constantly harassing you're ereader. Great, great.

I would want one, however, I bought a DX; didn't wait for a decent touch model.

Who has the last laugh is really the guy whose reader lasts the longest. Which reader is more durable, the touch or the button one?

Will a touch screen endure as long as non-touch? More importantly, ... .

Of course, the touch is better. It is better than a non-touch. The kindle 3 is worse than the Nook Simple Touch. Kobo's awful. It's sold by Borders, ok. At least B&N sells Harney tea in their cafes. B&N gets passing marks. The kindle 3 is bland, but it's the perfect reader after the touch. I have a huge [profane language edit - moderator] screen, though, and if it lasts, I won the game, last year, ha!
