Jeremy, I have an EZReader with an eInk screen and a jetBook Lite with a reflective TFT screen. The first has the black flash, the second does not.

I find that the black flash does not annoy me at all, although there are more than a few people who are indeed bothered by it.

However, the time the EZReader takes to change the page is far too slow compared to my jetBook Lite. I do find that annoying.

I therefore recommend that you settle on a device whose processor changes the pages quickly. I expect that the Kindle 3 will. But if the flash bothers you after you receive the Kindle 3, I wholeheartedly suggest that you consider the jetBook Lite, which was on sale two weeks go for $69.99 at Newegg.
