    <thetext>It would be nice, or rather crucial for the success of e-ink technology to implement flicker-free page turns and scrolling into other programs.

Replies from app authors often show that they use the standard Webkit/WebView component and do not know how to implement a better alternative, reducing annoying page refreshes on e-ink.

An alternative for flicker-free page turns and scrolling has been developped by dairyknight (dairyknight@gmail.com)
http://code.google.com/p/apv/source/browse/pdfview/src/cx/hell/android/lib/pagesview/N2EpdController.java

I would suggest that his code or a similar method to be incorporated in the WebKit, as an option for e-ink devices.
Code like this would definitiveley contribute to the success of e-ink.</thetext>
