However, capacitive touch screen aren't terribly accurate; they can be used for "buttons", but (unless they've improved since I last came across them) you won't be able to use it for annotation (writing on the screen).
Well personally thats fine, I wouldn't use it for annotations.

As I read lying down most often I would welcome a page turn function appreciably above the half way mark of the device. A touch screen that allows page turning would fit the bill nicely, so long as I wouldn't be trading readability (contrast etc.) for the privelege.
