Thanks Kevin. So in your Tetris example, you're using the Touch - I'm guessing that means it has additional capabilities for drawing or screen refresh?

Basically I'm looking at rendering data from my own home weather station. At first I figured the easiest way would be for my Linux box of doing the heavy lifting of processing the data and creating the raw image for the Kobo to consume. I figured I'd FTP a new image to the Kobo every time the data is updated.

That was until I realized refreshing the screen every 30 seconds or so would be unpleasant if it has to do a full redraw, so I'm wondering what my other options are.
