IMHO. My 300 gets delivered today. Can't wait.
I love my gadgets, I was loving the touch screen loooooong before the Ipod, anybody ever hear of the Palm Pilot? Some devices it works great IE Palm, iPhone/iPod touch, PRS-600, and sometimes it dosen't (See Blackberry Storm and most old Windows Mobile Devices)

I find the Touch screen to be very convenient in a few ways.....Easier than scrolling through buttons, Annotations and highlighting on some of my books can be handy, and I love being able to search with that keyboard. And occasionally that dictionary can be very handy for 2 reasons....looking up a word when reading, and looking up a word generally.

But hey....to each their own, I like my devices to be capable of as many features as possible not because I need them all the time....but WHEN I DO need them
