I also prefer actual button for page turning. But in general I think a touch interface(even for eInk devices) is the future, it's just a more natural and intuitive way to interact with the contents and most of the options.

I think Kindle touch's design execution has not been perfected yet but a nice V1 device. At the least they should've included some hardware buttons for page turning as an alternative, and maybe a simple/handy way to lock the screen without having to put it into sleep mode.
