The screen is still washed out quite frequently when sleeping, and the text is faint for a couple of pages. It is not a really big issue for me, I am more wondering if this is normal or if the screen on my Aura is worse than average. Using firmware 3.3.
Looking at your first image, the lines in the background look like the ghosts of lines of text. I suspect that your Aura is not setting all pixels white/black/white (flashing the screen) before entering sleep. I know that various versions of Kobo's firmware handle entering sleep/power off differently -- one version was downright annoying as the screen blinked for about 5 seconds. I don't have an Aura but you might want to try updating to 3.8.0 to see if you notice any improvement.
