Greg I have one of the first model BeBooks (http://mybebook.com) which I have had a few years now and it does the same thing.
>From http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/E-paper: "The refresh of an eInk page creates a black flash and can create temporary "ghosting" effect which can be annoying to some people." Every page turn causes the display to flash black for a split second and I don't even notice any more.

I saw it while playing with one and that instantly put me off it. Ken, at first I thought the same, that all eInk was like that but every other eInk device I've played with doesn't do that.
