Now... on a side note. I am wondering if anyone experiences very very very slight ghosting despite full screen refreshes? For instance, it is most noticable when in a book and returning to the home screen. On the greyer shades of book covers, text from the previous screen can be seen very faintly. Also, when entering the Books list from the home screen, even after a full refresh the old page can be seen very faintly on the white background.

It is so faint that I believe it must be the way that the technology works, although I didn't see this on the older Kobo (or so I don't think). I also don't think I saw this on a Kindle, although maybe I was mistaken.
I checked for ghosting and as you say when returning from the Home screen to a page with a lot of white space a 'ghost' of the main page can be seen. However, the ghost is very faint compared to those seen with the 1.9.2 firmware version and of course with a refresh setting of every page, disappears with the next page turn.

I checked for this problem on my Kobo original and it is not there BUT you are not taken directly back to the page you were reading. Another page with a quote is first displayed so there is a page fresh before being taken back to the book you were reading.

Regards,
Joe
