Touch screen dosn't matter to me so much on a reading device though, because they are so simple. It's better turning a page with a button rather than touching the screen because the hand on the screen obscures words (one of the problems with reading on an iphone).

oh! I hadn't thought of touch screen for page turns, I don't particularly want touch screen anyway, but really and seriously not for page turns!

I think there is so much more that can be worked on before color screens are the issue

Hopefully they will have figured out the touch screen issues by then as well but I do not think its really a big of an issue with people as many think. Sony has had it now for more then a year and its not like its turned into the best selling ebook reader.

I think you are wrong about the color screen being the next big thing, and once again really do not look forward to touch screens
