I know that others absolutely love the IR touch, but for me, it's just one frustration after another.

This problem is resolved by keeping the fingers off the screen when page turning is not intended. The only ways unintended page turns could occur on any screen (IR or Capacitive) without having a finger on the screen is if the device had a tap to flip feature like the tolino. It is literally physically impossible otherwise. The issue here is most likely the way you grip the bezel. You've probably got your fingers overflowing onto the screen.

On the other hand, having the device not turn page when you intend it to is a genuine concern. I do think it's to do with the engine, not the IR panel. I've heard of people using ePub on Kobos who have this issue, and it generally isn't one when reading kePub.
