To me the flush screen has both advantages and disadvantages. The inset screen with a raised bezel helps protect the screen when in a case as the case front cover is held away from the screen, reducing the chance of impact damage. The flush screen though is easier to clean. I still like the pre touch screen Kindles and have K2, K Keyboard, Kindle DX and K4/5 readers.
For touch screens I prefer the infrared technology as a capacitive screen can have difficulty with dry skin in low humidity areas. The combo of a touch screen that can be disabled and page turn buttons is close to ideal IMO for recreational reading.
