Actually, I was talking about all e-readers that I've heard of with touchscreens. I wasn't aware that any used infrared technology to enable touch. I sit corrected. If the new Sony models don't have that extra layer, then I don't suppose there'd be a difference of that sort.

But yeah, there's still the matter of the MOBI files. All else being equal, for the OP's purposes, that's the impediment to going with an ePub device.
