Have you tried IR touch?
If you have, what did you dislike?
What is it about a touch screen reader do you not like?

Several things. First, I want a dedicated ereader and I don't want my machine going in the "tablet" direction. Touch screen is the first step towards that and it worries me.
Second, I don't want fingerprints on my screen. They appear no matter what Amazon or Apple does, regardless of any "fingerprint-resistant" coating. Even if you only have to hover your finger.
Third, I like physical buttons. I hate typing on a touchscreen keyboard and really don't want to have to use the screen to page. Especially if they use gestures, which is likely.
Finally, it's a gimmick, and likely one that will increase the cost of the device.
That's all I can think of at the moment.
