If you're interested in the Touch, I would suggest you just buy it first, because the only way to know if -you- like it or not is to use it yourself for a week or two, no amount of internet forum research is going to replace that. if you don't like it then, you can always return it for a full refund.

1st off, for your responses. However I'm not in the least bit interested in acquiring another reader, my Kindle Keyboard suits me just fine.

What I am interested in is keeping abreast of the new technologies. Hence trying out the new market entries to see how they work for a user. Nobody seems willing or able to show me a screen and tell me what do do to accomplish what I described earlier in this thread. Most folks seem to just want to tell why the like it or why they don't, kinda' like a debate. I see no purpose in this, but that's just me.
