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)

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.
