I wonder if anyone has read the tech info on e-ink enough to know what's going on...

I think that is the problem. The charge needed to switch pages is not enough. Resulting in grey and white areas. Maybe someone with a almost depleted battery can check it also?

I'm an electronic engineer so I think it is time for me to read some datasheets on the e-ink technology. :P
