I will also put in a plug for the Sony x50 series. Or the new ones coming soon.

But as others have said, the black flash is part of the eInk technology.

The Sony 650 adds the ability to turn pages with a touch (swipe) of the screen, so you can hold it is many different ways. It also has buttons to turn pages if you want.

The touch screen means no physuical keyboard, but yuo can jot notes if needed.

And while Calibre is software needed to add, you can use the Sony without it. But you DO need the Sony software to register your reader with Adobe and to buy books from the Sony store.

Calibre adds a LOT of customization to help you organize your books so you can find them.

Not a big deal with 20 - 100 books, but get up in the multi hundreds, organization is VERY important.
