I really liked the bar the Iliad uses to turn pages, but having a small 'mousepad' (like the ones used in laptops) somewhere could be very handy for scrolling (up/dn).
However,I don't really understand how you can practically get a 'touch sensitive' area on the edge of the screen's bezel to turn pages. That's why the 700 has touchscreen.
besides, if it's in an area where you touch the device too much, you might accidentally swap pages pretty often...
But I agree that doing all the effort to make an electronic device look like a real pbook, by using an e-ink display, and then end up having a 'click'-button to swap the pages isn't really 'pbook'-like.
On the other hand, I don't know if the price difference between a touchpad (mousepad) and a touchscreen is all that great..
