I realized this yesterday!

For some reason, even though you were all telling me that this was ghosting, not burn in, I just couldn't get my head around the fact that a screen could show a ghost image when the power to the reader was off. Old school, I guess - I was just convinced the problem was burn in such as CRT screens experience. It is obviously not burn in since turning the reader back on and doing a refresh of the screen cleared the image.

I'm a believer, now, and apologize for doubting those more knowledgeable than myself.
