I did as well -- I was already completely accustomed to the flash, so it didn't bother me to keep it. I don't even notice it anymore -- if anything I think it'd be more obnoxious if it were only occasional as it would come by surprise. The only drawback to the full refresh is that it uses slightly more power, but the battery life is still phenomenal.
My opinion as well. I'm coming to the Kindle PW2 from Sony 650/350. I was used to the flash on every page turn. Almost immediately I set me KPW2 to always flash--less distracting than every once in awhile. And, even with the flash each page, the KPW2 is still much faster at changing pages than the 350/650.
