http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/201...disappointing/ says "I think the reason for this is the fact the new H2O uses a capacitive screen instead of infrared like the original H2O and Kobo’s other earlier models. Somehow the glass layer on the Aura One isn’t as affected by it, since it has a capacitive screen as well. I had assumed the new H2O would use an infrared touchscreen since it has an indented screen like the original model, but it’s only indented like 1 mm and there’s no sign of any infrared sensors."
That is interesting because the review I pointed to has: "The new Kobo Aura H2O runs Kobo's proprietary software on a 1GHz Freescale SoloLite CPU with 512MB RAM. It has the same 6.8", 1430 x 1080 resolution, screen and IR touchscreen as its predecessor..."

And every bit of discussion I can think of here is that it has IR touch. And the same goes for the Aura Edition 2. The question was asked when both were released and the answer came back that they were IR. I'm a bit surprised this hasn't come up since then
