Leaving PDF out of the equation Kobo has a feature that lets you turn off the touch screen except to turn pages. Kindles also have that feature but it's a little clumsier.
Since you want a larger screen you might consider a Kobo Forma or a Kindle Oasis. They both have page turn buttons.
Barnes and Noble's Nook is a nice ereader and their current model has a larger screen. It's firmware is pretty buggy but I like mine a lot. None of the bugs interfere with anything I do.

Barry, have you updated your nooks to the most recent firmware (52.0.78)? The previous firmware fixed a lot of the bugs I've experienced and then the most recent update adds some little refinements that I appreciate.
I'd recommend checking for the update.

Also if you decide to return it you'll find Barnes and Noble difficult to deal with. They're not known for their customer service.

That surprises me. I'd have figured B&N would have great service, in the store at least. Granted, I've never tried going in with a Nook problem, so maybe I'm just ignorant.
[/QUOTE]I've found Kobo to be easy to deal with and Amazon the easiest to deal with.[/QUOTE]
Kobo's had lots of complaints about poor customer service (note: like with B&N, I've never gone to Kobo customer service with an issue, so that is all hearsay).
Amazon, I hear nothing but good things about.

I would definitely avoid GoodEreader. They've ripped off a lot of people.

No joke. Avoid GoodEreader. Do not give them your money.
