Basically what the purpose of flashing the screen to completely black is to get rid of any shadows or artifacts that end up on the screen when it changes. You'll notice that most if you have a picture in a book and it doesn't happen to be the refresh page. My personal preference is to have it flash every page because it gives me cleaner text. Others will set it to every 6 pages (while reading -- going into a menu or changing chapters forces a reset) or will edit the config files to go more than 6 if they don't like the flash. Personally I don't even notice it any more.
