Don't you worry, friends and well-wishers. A few tweaks will make madshelf, fbreader, etc. touchscreen ready, and I'm already hard at work on OpenInkpot's new web browser - Manic Browser - a webkit and efl based browser optimized for touch-enabled ebook readers. And what's more, the basic functionality is already in place. That's right, it's already a working web browser.
Cheers!
