That sounds more like Flash RAM. I was thinking of flash ROM, I don't know if it is possible at all? ROM does all the calculating realtime towards input, display and software. Flash ROM would do calculations relative to software ingrained to it. That would be a totally new way of computing. It might not exist for the simple reasons that you need to modify software once in a while and that displays have to be maintained by a refresh rate. If you didn't, then it could be in ROM, completely unified to the device's use. Being in flash it could be awakened at each command and go to sleep microseconds after. This is one benefit of eink that it does not need refreshing and could help optimize processing power use. To my knowlege it does not exist yet.
