I had a Glo (not HD) and found the ghosting very annoying. Much more heavy than in my Kindle 4, resulting in not using the device unless I required the frontlight.
I can live with any other issue, but ghosting is a deciding factor for me. Is it bad on this device?

Thank you all for your valuable comments in this thread!
Yes and no.. depending on which firmware and what do you do.
Just reading,there is no ghosting at all, but when you select an option,that window stays visible.
And when the device awakes, the cover that is displayed when it sleeps is visible.
Several ways to handle it,double tap on the screen and it is gone.
Set the refresh rate higher,you can set it on every page.
So,with normal reading I see no ghosting at all.
Firmware 3.15 has some options to "disable" ghosting, but that is only for the option windows that stay visible.
If you just read, my refresh rate is at 6 pages and there is no ghosting txt from the previous pages.

/edit.. oops, Anne (booklover6) was more quick then i was..
