Ghosting can vary between individual devices more than across models, generations, and brands. My Oasis 3 (the latest one), manufactured about a year after release, has the most severe ghosting I have ever experienced with e-ink when it is "cold", even when it is set to refresh every page. As my Oasis 3 "warms up" with use, the ghosting reduces until it is gone. If the ambient temperature is above 25C or I have prewarmed it under my sweater there is no ghosting. By severe ghosting, I mean ghosting elements that persist at least 2 page turns with refresh. My Voyage, PW3, and Oasis 2 have always been set to the minimum refresh setting without ghosting.
It might be that the Oasis 3 is more prone to ghosting, but not all Oasis 3 devices have a severe ghosting problem. Sirtel always sets her devices to maximum refresh because otherwise the ghosting that most people can not even see makes for a bad reading experience. She never called out the Oasis 3 as having ghosting worse than other devices or having ghosting that was bad for a while after initial turn on.
