I use an iPad with Amazon's Kindle software and I've downloaded over a dozen
technical books. I'm happy with it for two reasons. First, the size and
clarity of the screen makes it easy to read as long as you're indoors or out
of the way of direct sunlight, which I tend to be when using my computer

That is the way that e-Ink works. The battery is used to reset the display to
whatever the new content is. Battery isn't used (AFAIK) to display a static
page.
I found that I got used to it pretty quickly and it doesn't bother me anymore.

I like the iPad for reading too. Safari Books Online's website is
particular annoying on it but once you learn the two finger scroll
gesture for the frames it's usable, and there's an app coming very

bringing a laptop. Batteries seem to suck down fast but they last
longer than any of my laptops.
Safari Online would be better with a dedicated reader, which they are

Greg, I agree with you, the reverse flicker is crap. 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

I have one of the first model BeBooks (http://mybebook.com) which I have had a

The refresh of an eInk page creates a black flash and can create temporary
ghosting effect which can be annoying to
Greg, I have had a Kindle since Christmas last year, and frankly I love it.
The reverse video flickering is an unfortunate side effect of the way eInk
works, but to be perfectly honest, I am used to it now, and it really
doesn't bother me in the least.

my Sony, I read every review of an e-Ink device I could find, and they all seem
to mention it.

Alternatively, can you keep the Access front end, and just put the data into a

Thanks all. I think that answers my original question.
