No, they use capacitive because that costs less! They can now, because the eInk screen is less grey. The IR based touch gives a clearer brighter screen, but needs a taller bezel and it costs more.
1) IR needs more parts.
2) IR taller bezel (more recess to screen).
3) IR less RF interference than Capacitive.
4) IR wastes less ambient light, screen brighter than Capacitive
5) Wider viewing angle.
6) Both are equally safe.
