I've found that majority of the people who dislike touchscreen based ereader are the ones who either don't know the basic operation, or refuse to try one because they think they won't like it. Just look at the people on this board!
To be fair though, the Touch is less intuitive to use than some other touchscreen based device like an iPad, mainly because of the asymmetrical assignment for the touchscreen region(but really, it just takes less than 10 seconds to read the "Tips", I swear!).

Of course there're very few out there who've tried & know everything there is to know about how it works and simply prefer NOT using a touchscreen.
