Touchscreen or Buttons?

Touchscreen all the way. I don't think I've ever used the buttons one.

Touchscreen for sure. That's the trend and offers more battery life essential for hard core readers.

What type of ebook readers do you prefer? Modern touch ones or classic button ones? I'd especially like to hear from people who had both and how they compare. It seems my Kobo Touch might be on the deader side, so I'm looking at options. It's the first and only ebook reader I've had, so I can't really compare. I would love to hear your thoughts on the subject.

Well... I'm still old school. So reliable, classic buttons for me.

touch screen, hands down! Technology is supposed to provide easier lives to people and we are to move forward not backward.

Touchscreen is the best because you will read faster

It's much easier to handle the touch ones. Plus, it's faster.

I originally liked the button e-readers (my mom had one) since you specifically hit a button when you were down with a page. I was hesitant about touch screens thinking it would pick up stray fingers as a page turn. At some point I started using touch screen and couldn't imagine going back. It's just so convenient to tap to turn a page and you can tap almost anywhere on one side of the screen to change the page. Some times I lay in bed in weird ways and it's helpful that I can change where I'm touching the screen.
