Anyway I had to end up turning it off for a bit. It was fine after that. However my brother probably wasn't too impressed. I was boasting that my reader was better for reading books that his tablet when I had to run off to fix the ghosting problem. Ha

I pray that this issue doesn't happen again (or very rarely).
Happened to me for the first time yesterday - exactly as Trini described - making the text on the page almost impossible to read.

I have tried turning it off (not shutting down) and on again (seems to work most times, but the problem returns after anything from 1 to 10 page turns), I have tried hitting and cancelling the 'options' button (almost never makes any difference) and I have tried flipping forwards or backwards a number of pages (sometimes works, but again only for a few page turns if it does).

Anybody have any bright ideas for curing this, or do I need to return it for a new one?
