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.
The Kobo Aura is capacitance and the Kindle is IR. So Kobo have one current device that uses capacitance and Amazon has one current device that uses IR.

With IR, you can pinch to zoom. You can do so on a Sony PRS-T1 which uses IR.
