Are we now playing remedial English? I have to wonder if you are simply being disingenuous or are you attempting to remove attention from the original item being discussed (that the triple write full screen refresh is a normal part of an eInk screen's operation) by dragging in a red herring? Inquiring minds are eager to know.
