Hey all,

Got my new Aura H20 all set up and starting reading (loaded kepubs from calibre).

I noticed that on the page turn from the last page of one chapter, to the first page of the next one, the screen refreshes oddly.

It flashes black on and off about 3, 4 times, between the text and a black screen. The first time, I thought it was having an error, because it looked like a little electrical spasm.

I've noticed if I flip back to the last page and then back again, it doesn't repeat this flickering, so it must be something to do with time and refreshing.

I found it a little distracting in the reading experience - especially if you have a book with short chapters as it happens frequently.

Any tips? Is this normal?

I'm wondering if it's something to do with the fact that the layout of a chapter often means there is some blank space at the top of the screen (the text starts halfway down the page).
