Hi again everyone!
I went over to Borders today to have a look at the Kobo. It does look nice and is easy to operate but I was getting REALLY annoyed every time I turned the page because the screen would flick to black with white writing for about 1.5 seconds before going to the next page. This made it really hard for my eyes to adjust because it wasn't just a quick flash, it was really obvious. If the black text had just vanished and then the new page replaced it I wouldn't have minded as much.

Is this typical of eInk readers?
