I haven't looked an e-ink device since. That flashing was headache-inducing and annoying as heck. For me, that outweighs anything else that might be a possible advantage of e-ink over LCD.
It still flashes, but not usually with every page turn no more. The duration of the flash is greatly reduced with each new generation - tried my prs300 the other day and that flash is horribly long and annoying compared to what my PW does. It becomes less notiveable/annoying with time, but don't believe anybody that tells you it goes away and you tune it out completely. You will always notice.
