Supposedly iRex will have a touchscreen version. That I would like to see.

It will also help if iRex comes through with the rumored/promised software updates that will provide missing function.
I was a little skeptical about using the bar as well, but it is at least as fast as navigating on a Kindle. Since the bar input will also roll from top to bottom or vice versa it is actually a little more convenient than the Kindle. The only area I find myself using the pen is navigating a Calibre version of the NY Times or when I need to input for search. The pen will speed up some things, but the alternative is pretty good as well. Takes a couple of days to get used to it, but once you do it's good.
