An alternative to patching for coping with the refresh problems that affect firmware 3.18.0 would be to change my behaviour and get used to:

1. closing the book before putting the device to sleep, and reopening it after waking
2. closing and re-opening the book after each use of the dictionary, advanced font menu, table of contents, reading settings menu.

The second part is not actually all that onerous for me, because I don't use those features very often, the table of contents I use one or twice per book and the others only one or twice a month. The first part I think I could get used to in time.

The other alternative would be to dowgrade to firmware 3.17.3. Although it had the menu/popup ghosting and sleep screen progress bugs, I didn't find those anywhere near as irritating as the refresh bug in 3.18.0.
