I did a quick hack building a clock based on a Kindle PW.

It is supposed to run from battery.
After screen update the Kindle is put to suspend to RAM for the reminder of the minute. Creating the PNG takes a couple of seconds so the update will be a couple of seconds late.

This is an early development stage, we'll see where this leads to.
