I have Refresh set to Off. I do notice that, when I turn pages, there is faint ghosting effect. The fonts take less than a second to darken up as each page is turned. It doesn't bother me. BE sure to use the Helvetica font for the darkest and thickest impressions.

If eInk bothers you, then try a Kindle Fire HDX. It uses a different method to display fonts. However, it may have glare in bright light while eInk does not. I use both types and use the one most fit for the ambient light.
