I would list the following pluses of the finger touch:
1. Supposedly easier zooming in and out.
2. No additional intermediate device between the ereader and the user, so basically fingers (e.g. one's right little finger), are used to turn the pages, in some cases to make brief annotations, no need to carry additional device.
3. If stylus is battery powered, no need to look for another battery when it suddenly stops working.
4. No need to carry the stylus when no work with the stylus is planned (that's why I would prefer detachable stylus holder, so that nothing sticking out would distract my attention)
5. If there is a finger touch support, there is always an alternative way to fully and comfortably manage the ereader, when the stylus stops working and needs replacement.
Stylus certainly has the pluses of its own.
If the 13.3 capacitative screen, according to Booxtor, is indeed worse than an electromagnetic one (if I correctly understood him), I would rather prefer the electromagnetic screen, because the quality of the screen and text sharpness is the first priority for me.
