Hmm...
That would make it among the first of the PW2 production (they later switched to 4G storage).
The e-ink display does not 'wear out', so the ghosting was most likely the fault of the (very old) firmware.
Let us know if this firmware update 'fixed' the problem.
If it did not, we will have to dig a bit (no pun intended) deeper into this problem.
It is also possible that the prior owner had installed an add-in that made the inverted screen (and that broke).
IIRC there is such an add-in (people with certain types of eye problems wanted it).
OH,
It looks like you where sitting in a car in that video -
Was the Kindle sitting on the dashboard?
Was the car closed up?
Why:
The Kindle's e-ink display is very temperature sensitive (and so is its battery).
Pay attention to when the problem happens and see if it might be only when in a hot environment.
If it does, then please post the system messages file.
On the home screen, enter in the search bar:
;dm
The semi-colon is part of the command.
That will produce 4 new text documents (the logs).
Reading through the logs will tell if the Kindle is having temperature problems.
