Again, people, please do not blame me saying I scoff at a cost of maybe $150 or so additional to get "under the E-Ink" Touchscreen. I do not scoff at any cost. I am just trying to keep you informed and be honest about it. I try to treat all of you as highly informed and involved people and I think it helps to attach dollars to something to aid in your discussions.

Thanks for the information.

Hmm, that is quite a bit. But then it could still be well worth it depending on how the touch functionality was exploited.
