Hmm, that's strange. I haven't noticed this (upgraded from a classic nook). It can't a power savings thing though since there is no "brightness" control to speak of. There's a maximum black and white based on the actual physical orientation of the "E-ink" pixels. So, redrawing a page would cost the same energy no matter you draw on it. It may cost more or less energy if the processor was doing heavier computations for whatever reason but for displaying books (as opposed to playing games, etc), this is again going to be pretty much equal for any page.
To get to the point, might it just be related to the residual "ghosting" reported on this forum? This has to do with the nook2 not refreshing each page completely (until you hit 6 pages). Perhaps that's why you get a glimpse of what it "should look like" when you go to the home screen (full refresh).
Just a thought ...
