Navigating on the 8" screen of my Sage (for dictionary look-up, word search and the like) would be quite painful without touch. Unless there's a better solution for moving around than the D-pad used on old Kindles.

Well, the Hanlon mentioned above uses a combination of programmable physical buttons (I think they also distinguish between short and long presses, maybe double presses) and a wacom stylus.
To select a word or highlight text one would then use the stylus, which is as quick as using a finger. It has the advantage of not leaving prints on the screen, too.
The buttons can be programmed to have certain functions in notebooks and others in the reading app. They would then be used for page turning, going back and forward, accessing the ToC, etc etc.
To me it would be the best of both worlds.
Unfortunately, buying it from Aliexpress seems very expensive.
