The price difference is that I can buy a new 2nd Gen touch for $AUD 320 whereas importing a new 505 would be around $AUD 450.

I hadn't thought about fingerprints on the touch - that would be annoying.

Actually just after posting I remembered the ebookwise 1150 and was thinking that maybe that would be a better compromise than the touch. It's certainly cheaper which means if I'm not happy enough with it then it is a less expensive mistake.

I also started to worry that the other functions of the touch might actually eat into my reading time - perhaps a dedicated reader is the best option (ie. the ebookwise 1150).
