Hi, Antartica.
I am having a very interesting problem (experience) with eink refresh under FBReader.
I am using FBReader 0.12.1 on iLiad. I also made a patch to enable vertically displayed Chinese text. When FBReader enters vertical-displaying mode, xepdmgr won't generate full-refresh anymore (typing refresh is generated instead).
My patch is quite simple. I just call some Pango function to change font gravity to EAST and ask FBReader to rotate the screen 270 degree.
I upload two video, one (the second video) is normal refresh under normal FBReader, and the other (the first video) is strange refresh under vertical-displaying mode of FBReader. The quality of the two videos is only QVGA, but you can still see the difference of full refresh and typing refresh.

Added:
The problem only exists for xepdmgr 1.9i. If I use 1.9h, there won't be such problem.

Added 2:
Personally, I like typing refresh because there is no black flash in the mode. The bad thing is that the screen gets dirty after 3 or 4 accumulated refresh. If xepdmgr can do a full refresh after 3 typing refresh, accumulated typing refresh is still acceptable. So, it occurs to me that maybe adding an option to use all typing refresh and do a full refresh after 3 typing refresh is worth trying.
