Reformatting is now instant with the latest firmware. 2. The inversion of the screen is required by the nature of e-ink for screen longevity. Other devices eink screen will not last as long ( up to six times shorter life span) if they neglect the screen clear/invert process. 1. Reformatting is now instant with the latest firmware.

It's comfortable to hold (especially with the sleek leather case from Amazon, about $25), easy to read (the screen is amazing, in dim light and sunlight), and a delight to use. I love the dictionary feature (put the cursor next to a word, and the definition pops right up), the ability to adjust type size with one click (late at night or in dim light, larger is better for this 62-year-old reader), and the ability to sample for free a few chapters of every book before making a purchase decision.
