FWIW, I found the opposite to be true.  It was quite shocking to see the "flicker" effect the first few times,
but after using the device for a day or two, it becomes completely unnoticed.  I don't even think about it
anymore.  Countless others have stated the same.  Remember, E-Ink is still a fledgling technology.  Don't
be surprised if Apple uses it in a product when SJ feels that it's "just right"...
