You're missing it. The Story HD display is 768x1024; that's 786,432 pixels, substantially greater than the 480,000 pixels of the best 6" E Ink Pearl ereaders.

I disagree. I think display quality is much more important than a touch screen for an ereader. Reading is a visual task, occasionally interrupted by the need to take action to turn a page, and even less occasionally interrupted by other actions (look up a word, search, etc) where buttons vs touch screen matter. (I'd take touch if I could get it with the super high resolution, but if a choice is forced between the added resolution and touch, I want the better display.)
If nothing else, I applaud the decision to go for higher resolution rather than touch as it gives a new option in the market place. Sony Touch, Kobo Touch. and Nook Touch already fill the in the 6" E Ink Pearl touch-screen ereader space well.
