Thanks for the info. When my PRS-505 reaches the end of its useful life I will take a look at the H2O. One of the reasons I've been dissatisfied with touch screens is that the ones I've used tended to operate inconsistently. As an example, on my NookHD I sometimes get the lookup function when I try to turn the page and other times the page zooms in.
Justification hasn't been an issue for me since I prefer to read with the paragraphs set to ragged right and that is how I format the ebooks I make for my ereader (as PDFs). I don't dislike full justification except when it is used with very thin paragraphs (so you end up with some lines consisting of two words with a large amount of space between them). In the same way, I prefer no hyphenation when reading (as with justification it's just my preference).
