I understand the limitations of e-ink. However, there are plenty of examples where Kobo themselves use dynamic content (spinners, etc) where a full refresh is not required including of course swapping full pages of text up to six times whilst reading. I agree that leaving a clock on the home screen would become messy after a while, but I didn't even consider that anyone would actually be on the home screen long enough for refresh to become an issue.
I admit it may be personal preference but I still think a digital clock would be preferable to a button. However, clearing the screen real estate in the top right hand corner like you have would mean that pressing the button would be much more accessible without risk of activating wifi etc
