Nah, check the 3 year old iRex Illiad technology. Handwriting is awesomely smooth. Sure there is a small delay before it displays your handwriting on the screen, but it does not need to refresh the whole page to do that.

The PRS-700 touch screen probably uses a bunch of energy. So if you use it to flip pages, its battery life is probably not going to be great.
No, I disagree with you. I think the choice of the capacitive touch screen by Sony was an excellent choice, precisely because, unlike the inductive touch screen technology used by the iLiad, it can be used with the finger (the iLiad requires a special stylus) and it doesn't use a lot of power. The touch screen on the iLiad is a real "power hog".
