you can even remove the screen from the battery/unit completely and see what was on the screen forever.

Really! I am very new to the world of eReaders, but this is the first I have heard of this; could you provide a link to where you have read this? Everything else I have read indicates that there is no such thing as burn in with an e-Ink screen. I am certainly far from an e-Ink screen expert, but I thought "ghosting" is what occurs when the page is turned and some artifacts remain before a screen refresh.
How can ghosting occur when the unit is totally off?
Also, even though a different book was read yesterday, and then the unit was turned off, what was on there several books ago still shows when the unit is off???? I didn't include this info, but what I saw on the screen this morning is the same thing (same book title) as that which was showing yesterday when I noticed the problem. It is not showing "what was there before it was powered down," it is showing a book that was read a long time ago!
It sounds like classic CRT screen burn in to me, so now I'm totally confused! (O.K., it doesn't take much to confuse me, but still....
)
