It may not be problems, I haven't heard of any issues with the aura's screen, it may just be that the benefits of IR touchscreen tech are appealing to more people over that those of capacitive tech.
There were quite a few complaints on MR and elsewhere that when held at the right angle, you could see what looked like scratches on the screen. Several reviews pointed out that same issue. I've seen similar effects on ATM touch screens so I tend to suspect it's an artifact of the capacitive sensing layers over the eInk screen.

There were also complaints that the background on the Aura was darker than on the Aura HD though only really noticeable in a side by side comparison. Again, I suspect this was simply due to have multiple extra layers over the eInk screen.
