So much that only a month of use I saw a used Kobo Glo 1.0 beeing sold for the same price and as only the missing ligh was really bothering me I went on and bought it.
But I got a "problem", the Kobo Glo, at least on my end, has way less contrast than the Touch and has a LOT more gohsting on the screen, even when set to refresh at every single page. I looked around reviews on the internet and have found nothing about it, so I'm thinking it coud be something specific to my unit.
The guy who sold it to me said that was bought on impulse and it stayed "lost" and unused for some three years. Could this have some influence?
I was really looking into keeping the Glo and selling the Touch, it is way prettier. But as it is I'll probably do the opposite, Can anyone sugest a hack to "jump start" it to what I think is the real contrast of the thing?

I've never used a Touch or Glo. My first Kobo experience was the Aura. But I do know that lighted readers will have slightly less contrast due to the layer added to the screen for the light. It was especially noticeable in early lighted readers. Things have improved some due to better screens.
Not sure about the ghosting.
When you first got it, did it update to the latest firmware?
