Cybooks have an option to disable the flash.
Personally, at first the flash was anoying, but you get used to it. And I hated how unclean the screen looks without it even more than the flash.But trying to read pdf on 5" is a bit of mess....

Do the PocketBooks have reflow ?
1) Personally I'm very satisfied with the minimal ghosting I see on my Pocketbook. I've read hundreds of pages without it making the text hard to read. Plus, the absence of flashing probably saves battery. At any rate, the flash appears whenever you summon the menu, which at least in my case is often.

2) Yes, they do. I admit I don't read many PDF's since the majority are not adapted for small screens and thus make it uncomfortable, but the ones which you read in 6'' are perfectly read in 5.

@Sphinx666: Amazon sells its DRM'd eBooks in one ebook format, Mobi, and B&N and mostly everyone else uses a different format, ePub. Due to licensing issues, a single device can't read both formats (in their encrypted forms, that is). Kindles won't read DRM'd ePub, and Nooks won't read DRM'd Mobi.
