I witnessed the ghosting on an N2 at BN. It was very annoying.

I have the kobo touch. I am very happy with it. There is no ghosting on it at any time. I have it loaded up with over 7000 books...
While this is not an android machine... it is strictly speaking a reader thats all it does. It does not play music, games, movies or video chat. It does the one thing i bought it for and it does it very well. It displays my books with its e-ink display. It does not need a fast processor as that would eat the battery away. IT does not have a back-lit display again that would kill the battery. It does not make fancy noises to get my attention, that would be annoying as heck, and it would eat the battery. Eink technology is not designed for fast refresh rates, its not designed for kick ass graphics so it seems to me that some people have too much high expectations from things.The kobo runs on linux and it runs on it well.
The battery life is good, the display is crisp and efficient. The look size weight is nice. I tried the very first kobo release and was not happy with it. I tested in the store the kobo wifi and was not happy with it. I tested the kobo touch, i tested the sony ereader lines, the curtis ereaders and they what i found is all ereaders preety much do the same thing. The sony was bulky, and well to be fair it was heavy. The display really was not impressive, the refresh rate well its nothing i was ever worried about as im reading a book.
Bottom line is the KOBO Touch right now is the best one out there.
So do your research on Eink and see where that leads you too. right now Eink tech works exactly as one would expect it too in all ereaders.
I am actually wondering if you actually have the KOBO touch or not. It doesnt matter much though because like any thing else its just an opinion and an opinion is not the gospal of truth its just a version that you create to justify soemthing to oneself thats all.
