It seems like the ghosting might be better or worse on different ones since some don't notice it...

Most of my books are on my SD card, and my library loans are in the Digital Editions folder on the Nook. Everything appears together in my Library with my Nook Books when I look at "All" or "Books". But, I can single them out by selecting "My Files" and tapping either Nook Files or Memory Card.
The shelves are a be-yotch to set up, because it only sorts titles alphabetically. There's no Calibre plugin, like for Sony collections, either. I wish it could sort by author, or most recent, or search and add, or sync shelves with a Nook App or... or something. I imagine that maintaining shelves will be a chore, because I'll have to find a title alphabetically to add it.
I've not noticed any bothersome ghosting, and I didn't notice it on the store demo (which I discourteously hogged for far too long, but since I sold a nook color and a nook touch while I was there, the staff left me alone). I think you may be right that it affects individual units differently. I had a similar issue with e-ink saturation on Kindle 2s. Mine was horrible, but my daughter's was fine. A font hack improved my display, but left too much ghosting. I wound up making exchanges until the third unit I received was a keeper.
Overall, I'm happy with my new nook. I'd like it more if it ignored articles (A, An, The) when sorting by title. And there are a couple of things that seem weird to me, especially the way B&N books are hidden in reserved memory , leaving minuscule on-device storage for other content. I was surprised that library loans aren't differentiated - no overlaid icon, no remaining days noted. And it seems odd that I can't delete a book from the device (I can archive a nook book, but removing side-loaded content requires a USB cable and a computer.
