As I understand it, the capacitive touchscreen is technically better, but requires an additional layer on the screen. Early Sony e-readers had this. This affected the clarity of the screen. How this affects the PW remains to be seen.

A capacitive touch screen is a layer of a completely transparent "paint" on the surface of the screen. It's a totally different thing to the resistive touch screen that the older Sony's had. That was a physical layer of quite thick material on top of the screen, and significantly degraded the screen readability. Capacitive screens don't do that.
