He watched it about 30 seconds then said "That's not a flicker, It's like someone is playing with the brightness. I think your brightness controller is faulty." Which makes sense the auto brightness on this unit has never work right. I would be in the dark when it would suddenly go bright so I disabled it. I originally though it an app issue but I have 4 sideloaded apps on the HDX: Dropbox, ES File Explorer, GoodReads and Mantano.
Cloud apps: Candy Crush Saga, Netflix and Hulu Plus. That's it.
I removed Screen Dim when I found it was no longer needed. I removed WiFi Bar Switch when I saw it wasn't really needed either.

Why only in Books and no where else I have no clue. It's getting worse with each restart it seems. So glad I called tonight and not waited.
Tap Help and then click on Mayday. They can see what you are talking about and may be able to adjust it while you watch. If it can't be fixed, they can arrange for an exchange.

There are so many controls in so many places that they will have to consult their database to localize the problem.
