I'd like to chime in here.
As previously mentioned on this forum, I bought two 902Pro's, one for me and one for my wife. One of them exhibits a similar symptom to the one you described: after charging it, the default screen looks faded, indeed like what you get when exposed to the sun (even though the device sits in a dark room while charging). The effect disappears after turning the device back on, or after a few screen refreshes.
The other 902Pro doesn't exhibit this behaviour. The firmware versions on both is 2.0.4, and they were bought at the same time.

I have no idea why this is, but after almost a year of usage the effect hasn't worsened, and it doesn't prevent using the device. We actually love our pocketbooks, even though some aspects of the hardware and firmware look like they were designed by amateurs. Alas, there is always room for improvement...
