New here and looking for some advice.

I want an eReader, been and had a play with the sony ereaders but the black flash on the page turn would make me dizzy after a while (Inner ear thing - a billion things make me dizzy). In fact it was starting to do so after ten minutes when I was checking it out in waterstones.

So my question is, are there eReaders available that don't do that/

I know you can get 'tablet' type ones but LCD isn't great on the eyes for long reading periods is it, so I'd like, if I can, to avoid that.

I did see the jetbook whilst I was out looking, which claimed to have an ePaper screen and suffered no black flash, but the reviews don't look great. Apparently file format support is limited.

So my question is, does anyone know of another ebook reader that doesn't have the black flash on page turns?

Thanks for any advice.
