My Basic Kindle 7th Generation has an IR touchscreen, and it's plenty responsive and accurate. I've noticed no difference whatsoever between it and my Voyage's capacitive touchscreen (I've not tried to take notes on either one, mind).

I don't have any frontlit e-reader with an IR screen, so I can't compare the lighting. The only frontlit reader I have is the Voyage, and while I admit its lighting is not the best there is, its screen is not the least bit milky. I've heard that the Paperwhite's screen can be milky, but I don't know if it's true or not.
