Kris Abel of CTA.ca already had his hands on the 700!
His say about the touchscreen:
Quote:
The touchscreen display is built for single touch commands only, but you can perform swipes across the screen to flip pages or highlight text. You can change the settings to change the direction of your swipes, to allow for both left-handed and right-handed page turning. Highlighting text is fairly easy to use and use accurately, to select only the words you need.
The trick with touchscreen displays is that they have to be useful, not merely a gimmick added to cash in on the trend started by Apple’s iPhone. Here it genuinely adds to the ease of the Reader’s use and makes reading and navigating through a book’s pages more pleasurable.
