Both screensavers work, but when I go to screensaver mode (slide the power switch), I can see previous text through both images. Is this a common issue with custom screensavers (standby screens) on the DX Graphite, or is something wrong?
This sounds like ghosting to me and has nothing to do with the screensaver hack. Ghosting is common with an e-Ink screen and can be cleared by hitting the Alt-G buttons on your keyboard when your Kindle is on (not in screen saver mode.) Do a search in the Kindle forum for "ghosting" and you'll come up with quite a few threads referencing this easily fixed problem/annoyance. (It is not a "problem," per se, just a consequence of the e-Ink technology.)
