Can you see if you still have ghosting effect in 4 or 8 tint b/w?
Or run ebooks fromSD card,and/or other formats.
This should be slower to refresh a page (0,8s),but I imagine the ghosting would be less.
Also my impression is that the ghosting happening when plugging in the AC adaptor or USB cable comes from the higher voltage the system is running on.
The internal battery provides (I guess) 3,7V. 3,0V is the minimum for those electronic components to function on. By plugging in the AC adaptor or USB cable you feed the device with 5VDC.
The screen itself gets loaded with a higher voltage (can anyone confirm if the contrast,if when plugged in you get a more dark or intense imprint of the ink?)
Higher voltage probably means the screen gets too little time to discharge the remnant voltage in 0,8 or 0,5 seconds.
The ghosting should also get less the longer you use the device, and the more the battery gets empty.

I ended up getting another one but the ghosting remained even after a variable resistor adjustment that was supposed to fix the contrast. It was evident no matter what the source file or location. It happened whether it was plugged in or not and was very very evident. It's unmistakable when/if it starts happening. I did drop it a couple of times so that might have been the cause.
The ghosting did disappear after about 10 days of no battery charge but came back a couple of days later.
I still have it and it still "works", I'll dig it out and take a pic so you guys can see what I meant.
