I've already restored factory mode and nothing! I'm using firmware 5.9.4.
I noticed that the battery is running very fast too, is it?

someone with the same problem? Any solution?

Thanks a lot!

You can try:
Settings -> Reading Options -> Page Refresh

but that causes a lot of flashing in inverted text mode and will make the battery run down even faster.

Your picture shows really horrible ghosting, way more than normal variation. I think that it is defective and should be returned for replacement.

On my Kobo when I am using Night Mode, I set the screen refresh to every page -- the flashing from that is preferable in my opinion. I don't have a Kindle handy but the page refresh should be settable from Settings/Reading Options if my memory serves me well.

The severity of the ghosting does seem to vary between devices or perhaps some people are just less affected by the ghosting.
A normal amazon 7" kindle oasis has little or no ghosting in inverted black and white mode.
I don't see how anyone would tolerate the level of ghosting in that picture.
