Kindle 5.9.4 Flashing often
Hey everyone, I notice since updating to 5.9.4 that sometimes it flashes like 3 times (this isn't a black on white full refresh). Anyone else notice?

It happens on both my voyage and Paperwhite since the update

Yes, I do see this every once in a while on my Voyage. Doesn't happen everytime I read and when it is happening, it's not every refresh. Haven't been able to figure out if there is something specific that triggers the rapid 3 flash.

This happens on both of my Voyages since the update. It only occurs once or twice during a reading session and doesn't bother me enough to turn off the clock. I like having the time displayed.

I'm getting used to it. It concerned me that there might be something wrong with my PW when it first happened, but knowing that other people see it as well makes me feel better. Hopefully, Amazon gets it fixed in a future FW update.

Ok thanks everyone. Good to know my devices are ok! Sorry I didn't see it in the other thread, and me too, I also like the clock

I'm with everyone who likes the clock being displayed. I'm willing to put up with the occasional rapid flashing as a trade off. As mentioned before, it doesn't happen often--if it happened every time my Voyage did a page refresh it would be annoying.
