Agreed.

I had two button-driven readers before switching to the PRS-650, and before I got the Sony I wasn't that bothered about Touch. Once I started using the device I was blown away. It's a very intuitive way to interact with the reader.

I don't have to 'move my hand a long way' to change page. The 650 reacts to a small movement of my thumb across the screen edge where I'm holding the device - without moving my hand. I can do this holding the reader in either hand.

On other occasions I will naturally swipe the screen with a finger, and of course the Sony does also have page left and page right buttons for when you're holding it down the bottom or don't want to touch the screen.

This variety is very helpful. On both my previous devices I found that always having to press the same buttons or click the same 5-way meant that that thumb got fatigued.
