You know this got me to thinking about the "screen refresh" rate for paperback books. It usually takes a good second or two to turn the page. The entire "screen" gets all blurry and hard to read during that page turn.
You would think after hundreds of years, they would have improved the page refresh rate on these paperback books.

Seriously, the Kindle page turning refresh is a non-issue for me. I usually blink or look away for a second, and it probably helps me rest my eyes a bit.
And also, if you think about it, paperback book technology is not too great. After 20-30 years, the paper probably gets all yellowed and discolored from exposure to varying levels of humidity and dust. And personally, I find it a bit annoying to have to keep the pages pressed back during the entire reading process. And if the book is thick, it's awkward to hold for long periods of time.
Hey, in reference to a thread elsewhere on this site about DRM, do you think the publishers would offer to replace yellowed, tattered copies of paperback books with new ones for free? After all, paperback books should last forever, right ?
