(Not addressing the capacitive touch discussion, just the Wacom behavior.) The "distance" factor is a standard behavior for the Wacom Penabled displays. I have a Motion Computing LE1700 tablet and the pen only needs to get near the screen without actually touching it to be "visible" to the sensor. The edge doesn't show a visible cursor for the pen on the eInk display, so it's not obvious that it works this way. Hold the stylus with your pinkie finger between the stylus and the display to engage the button in the stylus tip and play with it drawing on the screen without the pen actually touching the screen.
