E Ink should be used for static content. Just like PDF should be used for fixed layout.
I think so, too. But I wouldn't mind faster page turns when reading static content, especially if you can do it without the flashing effect. It would make flipping through a book possible.

Some devices already do that. Eg, with Sony readers if you press and hold the page turn button, it will flip through the pages at about 5 pages per second, only doing a full refresh when you release the button.

That's good to know. My older Sony and newer PocketBook device only do the "jump by 10 pages" maneuver. Seeing the pages in between would be swell.

the pocketbook devices allow for "partial " refresh. configuration-appearance-full page update. choose from never, always or 3/5/10 pages. choosing 3, 5 or 10 gives quick no flash page turns for the chosen number of pages

Yes, and in fact, I've turned that off because I dislike the messy results more than the flash and longer time for every page turn (which doesn't really bother me). However, hitting the next page button over and over wasn't what I was hoping for when flipping pages. Rather something like holding the next page button down and having the device go through each page as quickly as possible, even if it looks messy. That would be closer to what you do when you bend a paper book and riffle through the pages with your thumb, looking for some particular thing.

If only for faster page turn, that would be nice to have
And to make some usable browser and pdf display.

16 fps on my iLiad would have meant a very good pan & zoom PDF reader.
I'd loved to have it for reading newspapers....

Faster page turns would be nice, indeed.

pan and zoom = "page turns". The smoother, the faster the battery drains.

PDF should be banned. If not, at least could only be attempted in landscape mode and with a page down and page up alone to read the two halves.
