Rebooting seems to help a little bit, but I worry that shortening the page turn length so much may reduce the overall contrast of the screen, since more black ink is left on the surface after each page turn.
I agree with this. I can definitely see the ghosting and after using my original nook more I am starting to dislike the fast page turns and would prefer an option to set it back to the old way.

The Pearl screens look a bit better, but the difference is too slight for me to care. However, I liked the look of the nook eink screen more pre 1.5 update and I would like to see a 1.6 update that lets us turn off the fast page turns to improve the screen contrast.
