My SO has a Daily Edition, not a Pocket, though that was his second choice when he was choosing readers. We were able to handle and test out five different readers at Best Buy.
The DE does have a touch screen as well, and it has a larger screen and wi-fi. But as I recall, the Pocket was able to enlarge text to a near similar size, meaning that the screen size was not a problem in reading, and the touch function works very nicely.
He said that if the device is cold (as in a cold environment) the touch function takes a little longer to respond, but otherwise he hasn't had any problems with it, and there are also buttons for some basic functions.
He has loaded his own texts onto it rather than purchased eBooks and recommends bypassing the Sony software and either use Calibre or load stuff directly from one's computer hard-drive.
