I don't think this is really conclusive, but C/Net is claiming that the Kindle (2014, Touch 2) uses IR sensors ..

New budget Kindle
For $79, you can pick up the new Kindle (2014), which replaces the previous model that didn't have a touchscreen. It's worth noting, however, that the entry-level Kindle's touchscreen isn't the same as the capacitive touchscreens of the Paperwhite and Voyage. It's the older, IR-based touchscreen (IR sensors are embedded in the bezel).
