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.

I'm not sure what you mean by that but since I'm the starter of the thread and I returned my Touch because I didn't like it as well as the Keyboard model.
1. I have an iPhone and and iPad and a Kindle Fire. I even own a nook Color. I don't mind those touch screens. I'm well aware of the basic operations of touch screens work and I certainly don't refuse to try them.
2. I used the Touch at least once a day for about two weeks. I knew how to use it just fine. I simply didn't like it as well as the previous model so I sent it back. I prefer to have the device that suits my tastes.
Your experience of the people you know might be different but I think that if you search around MobileRead you will find much more than a "few" people who prefer having a keyboard. Just like with all the different brands of readers, there is more than enough room for personal preference without having to insist that somebody who makes choices that don't match yourself must be inept, uneducated, or simply wrong.
