I experience a problem with the current firmware where after waking from sleep in a book the text on the first page can be very light. It has been like that for quite a while now. But after turning the page it returns to normal.

In the past I have seen reports of ghosts from the sleep screen when using a sleep cover to wake the device, but I don't have a sleep cover, and I don't know if that problem occurs in the current firmware.

I haven't seen any unusual ghosting when opening a book or when turning pages, but opinions on this vary wildly: some notice ghosts after one page turn and have to set their devices to refresh every page. Others go 128 pages without any problem (there is a firmware patch to allow the number of pages per refresh to be increased, or it can be done my manually editing the device's configuration file). I don't know if it is a difference in devices, a difference in settings, or just a difference in perception.
I found the problem. It was my mistake. I was changing the size of the images in the original epub and then converting the epub so I won't lose the original. I changed the image size on the epub after converting them and it seems to be working now. Apparently Calibre doesn't convert images really well for the kobo glo hd.

Thanks for your help. I feel a little stupid for not trying this before.
