Borders Announces Touch Screen-Equipped Kobo

Book2Book

Inspired by Sony's line of Readers, Kobo today announced the Kobo WiFi Touch Edition, a touch-screen-equipped version of its Kobo eReader. By adding a touch screen the Kobo Touch alters the unintuitive nature of e-reader page turning by ditching buttons in favor of more intuitive touch-based gestures. Pages can now be turned by swiping across the reader's screen rather than by the press of a button, a significant departure from how the Kindle works.

The new Kobo seems great, I would love to see them use color though, and maybe the ability to watch movies on the kobo as well, if regular movies are not an option, than just books that were made from movies or otherwise.
