When I discovered that a very light swipe with the stylus works well, I started turning pages with a flick of the back of my fingernail. It works great. Very natural, very comfortable. Sometimes I use the buttons if I happen to be holding it with one hand, but that's less ergonomic.

Thumbs up on the touch screen for me.
I've had mine since Christmas and don't have any scratches, either (oh, wait, that IS 7 months ). Anyway, I just press lightly with my thumb (not even the nail, just the pad) and it works great. I did have to get used to the motion and the pressure but it didn't take long. I am seriously considering getting the 600 if the display is as improved as they've said.
