Hack enables fast refresh mode on Nook Simple Touch (video)

As anyone who's used an e-reader knows, page refreshes aren't the most elegant feature of E Ink. Well, if you've got a Nook Simple Touch a hack released by XDA Developers member marspeople could put an end to your page-changing woes. You'll need to root your device and install an .apk, then simply activate fast refresh mode by a four-tap gesture -- sadly, not the Konami code.

Check the video after the break to see a demo, and touch the source link below if you want in on the fun.
