For 99% of the most commonly used functions by regular consumers of e-reading (book selection, page turning, press to look up word in dictionary), infra-red screens are more than adequate.
Is the capacitive screen trade-off of inferior lighting (at night) and milky screen (by daylight) worth it to provide better note-taking? Personally, I prefer peace of mind while reading and frustration when highlighting to peace of mind when highlighting and frustration while reading. YMMV.

Sorry, but for me, the IR screen just doesn't work. I get page turns when I don't want them, and no page turns when I want them.
I am on the latest firmware, and I was reading in bed a few nights ago on my Aura HD and every time I moved the page turned. Then, when I tried to go back to my page, it froze up on me and wouldn't do anything for a minute or two.
I know that others absolutely love the IR touch, but for me, it's just one frustration after another.
