Best E-Reader For Touchscreen Haters?

[Waiting4somethin]

I just noticed there is a hack to disable touchscreen on the voyage.

I reworked the extension to capitalize on the features of the Voyage. Using this hack, the buttons work as usual, but if you press and *hold* the 'previous page' button, it turns off the touchscreen ability. The buttons still work fine! And, if you see a word you need to look up, or a passage you need to highlight/annotate, you can just press and hold the button again to turn it back on.

Also the hack to disable touchscreen apparently works on the kindle oasis 1, according to a comment in the sub forum below this one.

However, there are 2 issues.
1. KOA can swap the prev/back buttons. This extension will change the default button settings.
2. This extension seems lock KOA's auto screen rotation.

It’s a temporary disabling; when you don’t want to use the screen.

I doubt it. The point of disabling the screen is to use the physical page turn buttons, and Paperwhite doesn’t have any such buttons.

Can you explain how you could use a Paperwhite with a disabled touchscreen? The point of disabling the touchscreen on an Oasis is that it has page turn buttons.
