That's the old system. The newer/current touch Sonys use IR beams, and that's what the Kobo Touch is using. Were you implying that my feather incident was my imagination... or that my pillows are filled with styli?

Sony was the first to use infrared screen technology with the PRS 350, PRS 650 and PRS 950 ebook readers September 2010. About 9 months later both Barnes and Noble and Kobo have followed suite and are using exactly the same component on their latest e-readers: Neonode’s zForce infrared technology.
