I know there's some variation to begin with, but I'm convinced that hard use, whether lots of reading or more challenging conditions, does decrease the quality of the display, and probably the lifespan of it.

So it's possible flipping more area of the screen on every page turn is harder on the device over its life.
Since it is electromechanical, the display can certainly wear out, but exactly the same number of pixels flip, whether it is in normal or inverted mode.
