Any decent reader can do partial updates. My Pocketbook lets me configure how many pages to go before a full, "flashy" page inversion.

I think it's about time e-reader manufacturers had a standard way of measuring battery life. The number of page flips seems like a pretty good way in my opinion ...
Yes, and that worked for a while until Marketing stepped in. "2 months battery life" (calculated at 30 minutes a day, no Wifi) sounds so much better than, I don't know, 5000 page flips.
