It certainly seems to enable that usage model, but the big question will still be battery life. If this level of refresh comes with the battery impact of existing lcd displays, then it's not a good option for dedicated readers. Maybe we'll see somewhat of a sliding scale of capability that grows from ereader with primarily static content to multimedia tablet that is more media focused and finally to full fledged pc's. Faster displays and/or color with the same battery life benefits would always be welcome in a dedicated ereader device.
