A dedicated device is always going to be better at its job than a multipurpose one. Yes, the iPod Touch can be used as a bookreader, and it works "OK", but the battery life is short and the screen small. A dedicated bookreader has a battery life measured in weeks rather than hours, and eInk screens are much easier on the eye than backlit LCD screens.
