And I often think I must be the only Kobo fan who absolutely hates capacitive touch on an ereader (doesn't play nice with my skin at times, and I read outdoors a lot even in winter, requiring special gloves which I just won't do).

When I got my first Glo, I had horrible issues with pages not advancing when swiping, taking up to 4 tries to turn a page. And that wasn't a rare occurence, it happened at least 50% of the time. Just using a tap worked much more reliably, but it's just not a natural movement for me, I much prefer to swipe. I downgraded to a different firmware and the difference was like night and day, any missed page turns are extremely rare now. I've since upgraded to much higher firmware as well and the problem hasn't returned. It seems to be that particular firmware that was the issue, and not the infrared system.
