@Novo, that demo is for the K3 in 4 bpp mode. The touch is 8 bpp. I could adapt it...

The partial refresh hack on a touch could be similar to that video, but in the modes we can do now we are limited to about 5 frames per second and that looked a lot faster. The touch has other update modes defined in the eink drivers that I have not tried yet, so it may be possible to get the same results. For now though, similar but slower (like in the youtube video above).

The K3 has older eink drivers, but still may be able to be improved as we explore its capabilities using dithered black and white modes.

The eink drivers also support changing bits-per-pixel and support 1-bit pixels. Perhaps that would be even faster, but so far is just another thing on the "To Do" list...
