When I went to the store to buy the Kobo it really seemed that the Sony's screen was whiter and brighter I was wondering if there is a difference in screen specs of both models ? Before I saw it in real life I thought they both used the same standard of screen but now I'm not sure. Could it be due to the Kobo not doing a full refresh on each turn? and can that be adjusted
In the end I came away with nothing, and are going to go to another store to have another look perhaps it was the stores lighting
Thanks

They should look pretty much the same. Yes, I suspect the Kobo was set to a lower refresh rate. And yes, you can set it to refresh every page, like other ereaders do, if you want to. You can set it anywhere between every page and once every 6 pages.
The ghosting doesn't seem very noticeable to me, so I set it to the lowest - full refresh once ever 6 pages. But it can be more noticeable under certain kinds of light.
