The purpose of the black flash is to make sure that the e-ink is cleanly reset between each screen refresh.

This flash is simply a page turn. In fact, if it happens quickly (as it does on the K2) this flash is not at all jarring. It simply signals that a new page is being presented. |
This is something I had not considered and makes alot of sense. That would also provide rationale for Robertb's statement about perhaps skipping the Lite and going right to the Intrigue model for the added features of .mp3, wireless, touchscreen and longer battery life (all of which are not terribly important to me right now). I prefer dedicated devices that do one or two things - but really well.
It does make for a crowded handbag though!
