LOL. Take that, Doogman. Facts.
Maybe if you people actually took two seconds to properly read someone's post instead of aggressively asserting your superior know-how, you might not have misunderstood me. I specifically mentioned "responds to the stylus" for a reason.

Source, please? My Sony responds to a wooden knitting needle just as well as its stylus. There's nothing special about the stylus. It's just a pen-like object that interrupts the beams, as far as I (and my knitting needle) can tell, so a stylus from a different device should work just as well as my knitting needle.
One of the benefits of the IR system is that there is no need for a layer underneath the screen (which was a downfall of the earlier Sony touchscreen ereader, because the additional layer makes the text fuzzy).
