Kindle 2 screen burn in??

From what I have read here, and after a (not-so-thorough) google search, it seems the consensus is that e-Ink screens don't have a burn in problem.

But....Yesterday I was putting a skin on my partner's Kindle 2. The unit was turned off, and at the top of the unit I could definitely see the title of a book, the bar graph for the 3G signal strength and the little battery icon, and at the bottom I could see the Locations bar, etc.

Just to be clear, this is not ghosting, but actual burn in - the Kindle was off. The same thing is still there today with the unit having been off all night - so I wasn't hallucinating.

Has anyone else experienced this "impossible" thing with their e-Ink screen reader?
