I sideloaded 3.11.0. And I'm not talking about regular ghosting, which I can live with. This ghosting was more as if the cover image (since it only happened when the reader was first awakened after sleep) was superimposed on the page I was reading, as if the reader was trying to display two pages at once. I set the refresh to 1, lived with that for a couple of weeks, then set the refresh back to 6, and the problem had disappeared. I'm still on 3.11.0 and I get normal ghosting of the cover image--NOTHING like my original complaint. Since it went away by itself and I can't duplicate it, I quit complaining about it.

Edited to add: BTW, it seemed as if the longer the reader was in sleep mode, the darker the ghost image. If I put the reader to sleep and awakened it immediately, the ghost image was pretty faint and normal. If I left the reader to sleep overnight, the ghost image was very dark.
