Hello everybody,

I've just purchased a brand-new Sony PRS-650 in substitution of my K3 because I was concerned with the ePub uncompatibility.

I have to admit the touchscreen is wonderful, but still something bothers me: the PRS seems to have much more ghosting effect than the K3.

Here are some samples of what I mean:
- When I turn pages I can see a very slight white ghost image of the prev page on blank spaces
- Everytime I get to see a grey book cover, the grey makes contrast with the previous page elements, which are showned as a white ghost image
- The same thing happens everytime I press the reflow button: the reflow bar appears and, in the green layout, I can see the words which were below before I pressed as a white ghost image.
This seems to happen everytime something grey appears on the screen, making contrast with the ghost image.

Do you see this too? Is it an issue of my screen? This is the 2nd PRS I get, because when I saw this "problem" I brought back the 1st one to the store and then got another one - the one I own now - which has pretty much the same behaviour. Maybe the store got a bunch of defective units?
