It started happening a while back with it doing it primarily on ebook covers and usually, closing the sleep cover and opening again would fix it. This is the first time it's happened on the home screen and it took several tries before it returned to normal.
And it did it again just now. Opening and closing the sleep cover wouldn't fix it this morning, but touching the home button got me a normal screen. I love this reader, but I can't help but feel something is not working right. Page refresh is set to every three pages, as I hate ghosting. Battery was fully charged this morning as well, as I set it on the charger last night. So it's not that.
If you can tell me where to find this invert mode I can check, see if somehow it's accidentally gotten turned on, but I didn't think my Kobo *had* an invert mode! I just looked around and I sure don't see one anywhere. Firmware is current.

Kobo hasn't had an official invert mode. There is developer option to turn it on. And a separate hack to do it. But, if you have never used it, then it isn't the problem.
Something like that could be sign that an updated didn't happen properly. Manually putting the firmware update on the device can fix things like this. Or, in the extreme, doing a factory reset.
Otherwise, it could timing. You are opening the cover at exactly the wrong time so that the device is changing state and gets into some sort of confused state. I don't know exactly what, but, that it goes away when you close and reopen the cover suggests something like that.
It could also be the book, or the cover image generated for it. I've had a couple of books with a cover image that triggered a different method for updating the screen when going to sleep. Which also caused some interesting affects when the device woke. Replacing the cover in the book solved this.
