I'm tempted to buy a Kindle, especially with the Woot deal on the Kindle 2. I tried a Kindle at work the other day, and I couldn't help but notice the 'flashing' of the screen when I move to a new page. I'm talking about this thing it does where the screen gets erased and redrawn, a process that seemed to take 1-2 seconds. I thought that was quite.. awkward. Kindle users: does that bother you when reading? Or is it something you don't notice at all during normal operation? (Or even non-existent on current models, maybe).
- fudgie 16y agoIt's never bothered me. After a short while you learn to start turning the page a bit before you're done reading the current page, and the actual page turn happens just as you're ready for it.

- tallanvor 16y agoAs noted by the others, you get used to the transition time very quickly, and I don't think it takes any longer than turning a page in a physical book.
