Even the cheap capacitive styluses work as well as the more expensive stylus/led flashlight/ink pen 3in1 combinations. Even those ink pen styluses are not that expensive - at least wholesale. Why? Lately companys (e.g. some banks) have adopted to give those away as free advertising - much better than the previous ink pen only. The ones we got definitely get more use out of them than the cheap ink pens.
IR still has the advantage of no added layer and works with gloves. Disadvantage being less accuracy and less multi touch compared to capacitive. But then on the Kindle Basic Touch it won't matter - if it can do 2 point multi touch for changing font size that will be plenty enough.
