There is a button on the keyboard that you press to do a full screen refresh.
I typically find that I press the refresh button about every tenth page, and it's become habitual so I don't really notice it while I'm reading. For a lot of people this will actually be preferable to the slow page turn full refresh that's typical of eInk.
There is a setting in the options to make the Elonex do a full refresh every time, like most eReaders, but this setting doesn't work at the moment. I raised this as a bug with support and I hope it will get fixed in a future firmware upgrade.

This is an option with the PB360 using FBreader. I tried it out and quickly decided it wasn't for me. I don't even notice the flash anymore, but the degradation of page legibility quickly irritated me. FBreader also lets you choose after how many page turns it will flash to reset the screen.
