I think this is bull. I've personally tried the Sony PRS 600 and the refresh rates on the Nook are at least as fast as that. Probably faster.

People forget that the iPhone had godawful slowdown in their early firmwares. Even after 2.0 came out it had some terrible slow down and crashing problems with even native apps like Safari. It's only with 3.0 really that it's become quite sprightly, but even then it gives me plenty of frustrating slow down. It's entirely conceivable and likely that patches could do a lot to optimize the user experience on something like the Nook, just like they have on the iPhone, or ANY consumer electronic device that has had updatable software/firmware.
