This is why it flashes; the clear the screen to prevent ghosting and shadows. I'm of the impression that almost all users are not bothered by the flashing and get used to it very quickly.

That is correct. I use calibre, and I have had large books that took up to 10 min. for indexing. Since I convert everything anyway, I've just set the base font size to my preferred size. But it is a hassle when you want to show it off, and people accidently click that button - it makes the Reader look bad
