Poll: Touchscreen or Buttons (E-ink)

[odiakkoh]

Lol as for me, it depends. I don't mind an ereader I plan to only read novels with to not have touchscreen. If Kindle Touch does come out later this year and if there isn't any interesting features besides it being touchscreen, I will save my money and get the K3. For an ereader I plan on using for school where I will be looking at pdfs needing to zoom in, out and side to side, looking up words in the dictionary, making notes and such, I would require a touchscreen.

I'd like to see all the people who voted for page turn buttons with the touch revote after spending say 2 or 3 weeks with a touch screen reader. I bet the numbers would change.

I voted that, and I've my Sony for over half a year now... And I still use the physical buttons for paging. Probably because the way I hold my reader, with my thumb on the "Next Page" button... Also, if I'm reading a book with lots of errors, I usually have the "note taking" feature open. Try to page with touchscreen then! (I sometimes forget and have the entire page highlighted )

Everything has its time and place. But I really like the options both buttons and a touchscreen give me.
