The only problem would be battery life. Refreshing that often would quickly drain the battery (realiztic 4000 page flips per charge, update every 15 seconds, battery dies in 1000 minutes=12 hours). Also, the "negative image" flashed during reset would be annoying. However, I suspect for a refresh the negative image used to clear the screeen would not be needed. So maybe there would be less effect on battery life by a factor of 2 or 3 (assume little CPU time needed, and display refresh is shorter so the high-voltage power supply is needed for a shorter period.

I just use the joystick to go back and forward 1 page with RTF files. I use fairly large print so unless I leave the reader sitting for 15 minutes contrast is fine.
