I've been trying to look around for other people's opinion on this (which led me to this forum) but so far I have only found one other person mention this.

Hope that helps. I'd really like to hear more people's opinion on this matter. It would seem to me that for a reader, a better contrast would outweigh a touchscreen and slightly faster page turns.
But I've been waffling back and forth on this issue now. Any other thoughts out there?
How is that possible? They're both suppose to use the same screen technology - Vizplex Eink. Can you take a picture of them side by side?
