I am very fascinated by the E-Ink technology, and I am going to buy one when a A4 sized device is out. But I have a question from the very beginning: why all the devices existing today transits to black screen when turning pages?! Are the designers thinking it's more appealing to the eyes than transiting to a white screen? Considering the underline technology, both methods and be implemented the same way. Even more confusing is that the animations of menus and icons can be done without turn the whole screen to black or white, why don't they make the same design for turning pages. It won't increase any cost!
