Touch screens are definitely worth the money. Especially if you ever read older books and there are words that are no longer in common use that you want to look up in the dictionary. It's much easier to just touch the screen than move the up and down buttons or whatever.
I thought I wouldn't like e-readers because I thought I was a tactile reader, but then I got one as a gift and I found it much easier to read because I could change the font and font size, and I won't go back.
I hope you have a good reading experience! I'm not one to have a strong preference of one brand over another - I think the specifics matter (touch screen/back lit/etc.) but the brand doesn't. I'm sure the Sony is fine.
