There is no start-up time issue with the Hanlins, because there is almost never a need to turn one off. I don't know exactly how long a Hanlin V3's battery will last if it is turned on but otherwise not used, but it is measured in weeks. The wake up time in this mode is too small to notice, click a key and the device responds as usual. I never turn mine off, and since I download ebooks to it regularly this provides enough charging time that I almost never have to explicitly recharge the device.
The screen flashing, and the overall page turn time, is a disadvantage of EInk. It probably takes longer to navigate the directory tree on a Hanlin than a jetBook, for example, because of the page turn time.
