Touch screens are passive, I think, not needing to be powered. They are also more opaque than the Wacom-type screens. The eBookwise 1150 is a good example-- the touch screen doesn't draw power, but impairs the readability of the device without a backlight.

FBreader reads ePub, but not with DRM. As another poster has commented, the sticking point on supporting any other DRM besides Mobipocket may be the Mobipocket license.
