I don't understand the difference myself that well but I don't think the Glo HD is capactive, the small Aura was but that didn't have a great screen.

I think basicly all Kobo's are now IR and all kindles are capactive.

I know with capactive you can have a flat screen, but with IR you can't. But as to the real differences I'm sure someone else will come along and explain.
