that will be either the Netronix EB600 grace with touch 3g or the Swiftie. The Swiftie has a 600 MHZ CPU, which is a lot faster. yet if this is on the under 200 USD range. It will be the Grace.

It is still the EB600 platform, not the ALL NEW EB900 range.

The NTX software has already added a search function that is likely to suit a touch screen more than a a D pad!

However, I question the need for touch screen on E readers. I do not know which one works out more expensive in production, but by user interface / screen glare / protection perspective, I am against a touch screen!
