It looks like Sony intentionally did not add it for books since you see in the MobileTechReview there already is a capability for partial page refresh implemented in the display driver (demonstrated in web browser). I'd imagine they did this to get the best possible display when reading books.

Even the new Kindle apparently had to put an option for people to adjust partial page refresh even though it didn't ship with that option.

I'm hoping Sony learns from their competitors and gives an update in the future for partial page refresh option, as well tap to turn page. From reading these forums it does seem like they don't have the best reputation for updating firmware. I'm hoping the decisions to converge on a single e-Ink device and use Android will make actually help them do some regular updates for us.
