Count me among those who don't particularly care for touchscreens. I want my ebook reader for leisure purposes, not professional, so I'm more interested in easy navigation from a variety of positions (reclining, lying in bed). From this perspective, a touchscreen is just as much trouble (if not more) than a button in a bad position. I'd be much more interested in scroll wheels ergonomically placed on the side of the reader. My cellphone has a scroll wheel on the side; when I first got it I didn't use it at all, but now that I'm used to it I consider it indispensable.
