The Amazon Kindle has a touch e-ink screen. You can use it to read books (mobi format) or browse the web (albeit in a very limited fashion - but I use it to browse HN and works fine).

View on HN

I guess I should have been more specific, I meant one I could modify/make a custom app for/what ever.

Nook Simple Touch. Rootable, then you can Android it.

I've never seen a stand alone item that included a touch layer. I think you're stuck repurposing another device to pull this off.

I use my Kindle as a dedicated Reddit and HN machine before bed and it is pretty great.
