How long do I have to keep hitting Alt G before someone will admit that this is more than "ghosting". Perhaps we need a new word for the problem. How about pencilling? Pencil lines remain until they are purposefully erased and if the lines are heavily applied erasing them can be difficult.

So . . .
Emily Dickinson is pencilled on my kindle and I am having trouble erasing her.
Sounds like a broken screen. If you can post screen shots, we can tell for sure.
