It depends on the book.
On ordinary simple text file, or doc file or html, or epub opens under 10 seconds.
If you try to open 150MB pdf file with LOTS of vector graphics, fonts, complicated formatting, then it can take several minutes to open the file and many seconds to turn the page.

All e-ink readers blink.
The vast majority of people stops noticing well before they finish their first book.
With PocketBook it is possible to disable the flash, but then there are traces of previous content on the page (called ghosting) and after some 20 pageturns there is flash anyway to "clear up" the page.
