I was initially so freaked out by the black screen flash thing that I swore I'd never get an e-ink device.

Well, ahem,... never say never. After maybe 30 or 40 minutes of reading, I stopped noticing it at all. Seriously. It's kind of amazing what kind of adjustments your brain can make, and apparently my brain made that one without any problem at all. It feels just as if I'm turning a physical page in a book.

I saw somebody else on this forum liken it to how it is when you actually TURN a physical page in a book, by the way. Your eyes don't try to follow the edge of the page, or your fingers grasping the page. They just land on the top of the next page.

Hopefully you won't have a problem with it. I encourage you to give it a try, anyway!
