I've got a Kindle 3 ordered. I've vaguely wanted one for a while, but to be honest, I haven't followed such things that carefully, since not until recently were they in my price range.

But seeing a video of it and the black screen between the page turnings haves given me some pause. While I'm not a speed reader, I do read fairly fast - about 100 pages an hour with a book, which will probably be more on a e-reader (since the pages seem to have fewer words than a book) and having it flash black so much seems like it could get annoying.

I figure I will see if it actually does bug me, and if so, return it or ebay it. But if it does, do I have other options?

I should probably look at video of other devices, but I'm on Satellite broadband, so I have a very small bandwidth cap.

Also curious why it does that. In the video I watched, the guy moved a little cursor around the screen and then there was a dictionary pop-up at the bottom. If it can change those areas without going completely black for a moment, I wouldn't think it would need to do change all the words. But presumably they have a good reason.
