Might it not simply be the case that once you did notice it, you started focussing in on it? That's often the case with minor irritations...
If you remember way back to beginning 2009, I was infuriated by the Bookeen Page turns, but that reader had another setting, where the writing dissolved and reformed on the page. I was not happy about the prospect of flash on K3, but decided to read a book on it first, then decide.
After doing that, my brain filtered it out as I was more interested in the story than how the page was turning.

So I'd suggest to the author of the thread to give it a good try, then decide.
