The "black flash" doesn't bother a lot of users, and there's no pressing need for an ebook to have animations. While animation could be useful for some specific ebook uses (e.g. a how-to manual), it can also be distracting and rather gimmicky.

eInk's advantage is that it is a very low-power option; if you're expecting it to refresh fast enough for animations, you're going to lose that advantage. It is a niche product, but for that specific type of purpose, it's very useful.

PixelQi might be a step forward, but it's easy to praise a technology that hasn't hit the market, has no solid release date, has never been in the hands of reviewers, or gone past the prototype stage.
