It's perfectly normal for eInk screens, and you'll get used to it very quickly. It takes ~1 second which is about the same as it would take to turn the page of a paperback book.

The reversed black/white during the refresh actually acts as a nice visual reminder that the page is turning. If the transition was immediate and seamless I think it would actually be hard to tell if the page had turned or not!

I find myself anticipating the end of the page, and hitting the right d-pad button while I'm reading the last line so that the refreshes just as I finish the page!
