The capacitive touch screens have been good enough with ambient light since Voyage / PW3 / Oasis 1 (all 6″), if the light is good enough to read paper.

No touch is OK until you want to search or highlight or navigate. Then it's a pain.
Not correct. The Aura H2O is great with IR touch. I never once had a problem with mine. I would like to see IR again. Also, because there is no capacitive layer, there are less finger prints showing up.
