(Take a look at the tetris game for example of attempts to move a small object and refresh nicely in real time).

Hence my request (the whole point of my original post) to make a reasonable tap-page-to-advance command for pdfs in zoomed landscape mode which requires no dragging. To do this is not something requiring any specialized aspects of this hardware at all and I believe it would improve the Kobo Touch immensely for lots of people trying to read pdf books.
Actually I was responding to your remark about how dragging and dropping a book cover was not such a bad idea.. As an algorithm I thought what I detailed was a pretty good summation of how it would work regardless of hardware/software. I'm curious as to how you thought drag-and-drop would work.
