Device: Too many ereaders.
I'm ready to buy a Kindle - but I have two questions before I decide which model.

I've played with demo models. And I like both the Touch and the Kindle 4. I'm leaning more towards the Touch - but here are my two questions.

Question about Touch: The demo model I tried is the 3G SO version. (I'd go for WiFi, m'self). But on the demo, there was ghosting on every single page I read (and I read a lot of pages) at the bottom; a white bar; ghosting from the SO bar on the home page. Unless that's a screen "burnout" issue because of the demo being turned on and operating pretty much on the home screen all hours of the day? Opinions? Does anyone else have this issue?

Question about the K4: These devices are tethered within an inch of their lives at the stores where I've tried them out. What I'm trying to get is a "feel" for holding the device in only one hand and doing page turns with that same hand. With the big bulky plastic security things they've affixed to the backs of the Kindles in the stores, it's hard to tell if I'd be able to do that. I have small-ish hands (not tiny)....

Sorry if these are dumb questions; thanks for your help.
