Hello,
I'm considering buying an e-ink device. I was watching a video of someone using a Cybook and when switching pages there was a kind of black (rather disturbing) flash each time. Does this happen in real life or is just part of the way it was videoed? If it does actually happen does it ruin the experience. It looks rather painful.

Also I am going to be reading a lot of PDFs (prob A4 sized). Is the Iliad really the only way to go for a decent read (I dont want to strain my eyes to much...).
