@shanghaichica: ok, events executed with buttons are faster than touch events of course. But when you search a word, after you begin the search, touch events are not needed any more. And Kobo is very slow at searching. The fact you have to load also the touch handler can affect the startup time, but not so much... the Kindle powers on almost instantly. Highlighting can be affected by touch, but only because on Kobo you have to drag instead of selecting the start and the end.
I agree with you I should compare the Glo with the Paperwhite, or Kindle Touch with Kobo Touch, but the difference is anyway suggestive. I have not found any comparison between Rakuten and Amazon products that takes into account searching, highlighting and power-on speed.

I found the touch screen to be faster than the buttons when I conpared the kindle keyboard to the touch. Also on my kobo mini searching is snappy. I find the highlighting to be faster and more acurate on my kindle than on my kobo and although searching on my kobo is fast its faster on the paperwhite. However its a bit unfair to compare the kobo mini to the paperwhite because the paperwhite has a faster processor.
