Just speculating, here!
no. all of the current e-ink displays and processors are capable refreshing just one spot /character.

there are plenty of devices now that let you search or take notes for instance and use a soft keyboard to type a letter/number at a time. other devices like onyx, irex and others have digitizers which allow you to write or draw by hand with a stylus without doing a full refresh.


Look at this TI platform used to show off its newest omap SOC http://e2e.ti.com/videos/m/applicati...ic/144328.aspx at just after 2:00

To answer the op- yes PocketBook at least has announced a keyboard that will be usable with their devices
