Personally me biggest reason for wanting touch screen is for page turning. this is for two reasons 1, if you read for extended periods of time your hand can get tired holding the device the same way in order to reach the page turn button and it would be nice not to be so restrictive and 2, the button itself can stick after a long period of use. I have had to buy two units because i lost the button use after a time.
Anyway, this is why i can't wait for a unit with touch screen that runs Mobipocket. Any ideas on time lines for these would be great. Living in Australia our info is always slower that the US.
