Why did Kobo abandon the capacative touch flat screen?

Hey guys,

I loved the look of the Kobo Aura (if my Nook Simple Touch w/Glowlight were to give up the ghost, it would likely be my next e-reader). One feature that I thought looked slick was the flush capacative touchscreen.

I've noticed their newer models, the Aura H20 and Glo HD have gone back to the IR screen. Why is that? Was the capacitive screen a dud?

Since Borders closed, I'm not sure where to see Kobo readers in the wild, so I haven't had any hands on experience with them.
