I have never used any sort of Kindle, so I can't really compare. But, when I was using a Forma (my wife has it now), I had it set to "Chapter" refresh with no concerns for long chapters. The same goes for the other newer Kobo devices. I have done some testing with a longish chapter, but just paged backwards and forwards through it a few times. I got bored before I got to the point the ghosting was really worrying me.

That's with ordinary text. If there are images or larger blocks of dark text, the ghosting from them can be worse. I don't see this much due to the types of books I am reading. But, to clear it, tap the centre of the screen once to display the menu and again to close them and the device does a full refresh. Effectively a double tap, but the menus will display briefly.
