I suspect eBook reading devices are seen as basically being a different sort of iPod or Palm Pilot, and so people expect the same sort of response rates they have come to be used to on those devices.

Hence the page refresh flash making them feel like the device is somehow primitive or "broken".

Or so I am guessing.
