This is a reply to those who don't like touch-screens.
I was very apprehensive about the new Kobo Touch when I first looked at it. I too, wanted a physical button for page turning, however, there were other features
that I liked so I decided to try it out, I could just return it if the touchscreen was a
nuisance.
Much to my surprise I really like the touchscreen. I find it less noticeable to just turn the page with my thumb than using the D-pad on the original Kobo. You might want to go down to a store and give them a try. However, you need to try a Kobo Touch with the 1.9.5 firmware as the older firmware was really 'touchy'
