Well, for reading novels I agree. I've got no need for it on my Kindle that I just read novels in bed with.
For larger screen devices I'd use for my work reading, I want a touch screen--more specifically a stylus screen as I need to be able to highlight and jot notes in the margins etc.
But that's also moot as I don't want a reader for that purpose anyway. I want a tablet that can do that, as well as e-mail, internet, video etc.
So yeah, I don't see much need for touch screens on dedicated reader devices.
