I know that "touch screen" is all the rave in gadgetry.....but I hate the idea for an ereader. Maybe it's just the obsessive compulsive in me, but fingerprints all over my reading screen makes me want to scream. What is wrong with buttons? That's why I won't buy a Nook, regardless of whether they fix the slowness issues. I couldn't stand having a touchscreen interface that is constantly covered in fingerprints. I'd find that extremely distracting while reading. I would much rather see efforts spent making the Kindle form factor more similar to cell phones that have pop-out keyboards. This way the keyboard is hidden until needed which makes the unit smaller but still allows for easy control of searches and notating. Maybe that's stretching it, but I'd rather see those types of innovations than adding a fingerprint hoarding LCD that kills battery life.
