When it comes to flickering, e-ink needs to redraw the whole screen occasionally in order to reduce ghosting. Hopefully you won't consider this a bad thing.

Large screens (above 8") tend to have no frontlight. Currently the most favoured screen is 7.8" (Kobo Aura One, Pocketbook Inkpad 3) which has frontlight.

Depending on the reading app, you can set the contrast (gamma and boldness) level. I have heard Kobo's apps do this. Pocketbook's app does not set contrast, but I would say simply changing the font often does the trick. Then again, it's very easy to install Coolreader and Koreader on Pocketbook. Coolreader and Koreader set contrast apart from changing the font.
