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

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
