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.

Headache inducing? Then you cannot watch a CRT screen at all, I presume. And get headaches when in an office building with those tube lightning fixtures... They flash for more often than you turning a page...

I hope you won't ever read a paper book anymore, because that flash is even logner than the one on my BeBook Mini...
The problem I have with most reading software on tablets is that they insist in implementing a fake page turning animation. In my eyes, that's about a thousand times worse than any flashing even an antiquated e-ink device does. Especially since it's absolutely not required...
