BSR seems kind of pointless to me. Is it really worth sacrificing all the battery-life benefits of e-paper for a few extra FPS when scrolling through a website? I don't think so. BSR seems like more of a crutch to make Kaleido panels' ghosting performance look semi decent than something that standard BW panels actually need.
I think it's worth it on the Palma. It has a small screen and scrolling is pretty much a necessity when browsing the web. Or when navigating apps. And battery life is still okay.

I agree that it might not be necessary on a bigger screen. There is no need for the same amount of scrolling navigation.
