Hi,

Can someone answer a couple general questions about e-readers:

1) e-ink pearly display: If it is true that only the page turning consumes
battery, can we store it in the on-state and continue reading say next-day,
without wasting battery ?
The processor must run, so I think it will consumer power.

2) What is the estimated life of an e-ink pearl display ? in terms of page-turns etc.
For example keys in a keyboard lives for about 5-10million clicks.
LED displays are in the range of about 50,000 hrs. etc.

Thanks.
