Is he perhaps referring to the way many modern capacitance based touchscreens use a glass outer layer as the surface? I'm pretty sure the optical effects he's referring to are the glare reflected from glass-based touchscreens like those used in most modern devices.
Certainly, the IR doesn't need a special surface, but you do lose multitouch. Not that the Kobo Touch or Kindle Touch needed it. Dunno how the Paperwhite will handle that.
