some thoughts and observations...

there are timing issues with this approach. maybe a future version could delay the reFresh2 in cases where you are turning a lot of pages. the timing values I have hard coded seem "close" for the illustrated pdfs I have been testing with.

(18 2) doesn't render things quite right somehow, but it's fast and better than nothing, and you can fire it without liability. I think it provides a nice user-feedback while the page is getting ready to turn.

(19 3) sets the contrast to be on par with Kindles default, but (19 0) is far more accurate. This is especially noticable on photos, where (19 3) kinda sucks. So currently, we must accept a slight loss of contrast. Perhaps Kindle requires the flash to keep it's contrast marketing numbers high?

this script works quite well (ignoring the menus for now : ) Alt+G will trigger a Kindle refresh, I have also mapped "select" to do similar.
