Which is most likely the main reason people get so bent out of shape with this. They see it in a shop, or try one for a few minutes, and "OMG!!! It flashes all the time!! How can y9u read like that".

It's something that fades into the background after a little while. Personally, I think I had forgotten about it by the time I had finished the first chapter of my first book.

Just like a CRT monitor getting less sharp over time, or colours getting out of calibration, we adapt, and unless it is something that annoys us by the fact that it exists, we get over it.

We see, we process we ignore the less important stuff. The human eye is not a camera, so what we see is not necessarily what exists in our field of view.
