Still this fixation with touch screens. Why? They are more trouble than they're worth. I don't want to move my hands to swipe the screen for some poor virtual approximation of turning a page, when it is much simpler to keep my thumb on a page turn button, and to press it when necessary. I don't want to continuously have to wipe finger smears off a screen which I have to keep clean because I am trying to READ the damn thing.
My thoughts exactly! I'm perfectly happy with what my READER does, it's made for that! Ok, maybe they can improve contrast (I'm happy with eink, but any improvement in that area is good), or the software or speed of response...
Everything else is not necessary for a reader, I don't need video, I don't need color for reading the equivalent of a paperback!

Just my opinion of course
