I never understood what the big deal is with full refreshes and why manufacturers keep making noise about eliminating them. I don't see how it's any more distracting than turning the page of a physical book. Some people theorize that a partial refresh uses less energy, but my Kobo Touch would last for weeks with a refresh every page, so it doesn't seem to use that much more energy than a partial refresh.

Anyway, the Kobo Aura (not HD) seems to be able to maintain crisp text without doing the fullscreen "blink" every page. It's more of a dissolve, which I suppose some people find more pleasing.
