I tried on the Nook but with the small lcd, I found myself hitting the wrong option more often than not. Perhaps, its just practice but I would think twice before buying a Nook (or iPhone). I also noticed that there were a lot of fingerprint smudges on the panel from handling. As I mentioned, I had a touchscreen phone and opted to trade it for one with a keyboard. Just a personal preference.

The funny thing was that I was kind of worried that once I held a Nook, I would be placing my order (I'm kind of weak like that when it comes to gadgets). So its kind of a relief.

(Thanks tvg for explaining why I haven't had the issue with all touchscreens).
