Ah, so it's mainly a question of getting used to it
Actually, one of the reasons turning a paper page might be not so distracting is because you don't stare at the turning page, but somehow give a rest to your eyes and focus them on something else than the page (even if it's on your hand). A quick solution is close your eyes or look to somewhere else when the page flashes on an ebook reader. Anyway, the Cybook lets you disable the flashing.
Leaving aside the fact that, indeed, it's possible to turn a paper page almost instantaneously, but I don't usually do that (much less when reading on my side in bed, where I have to change the balance of the book at every page change).
