Quite a few different people have already commented on e-ink ghosting that they've seen, which seems to be more than enough to support jetBook's assertion that e-ink displays can at times have that side affect. Since that was the original subject of the thread, I think this point has been answered in full.

As for the "jetBook fanboys" -- we are just people who have the device and enjoy it! What is wrong with that?

In the end, I think the display comes down to a matter of personal preference. It isn't worth getting that worked up about. As for the Ectaco's offer of free books -- yes, it is misleading, but it has also been addressed elsewhere. It doesn't relate to the "TFT LCD vs. e-ink" discussion.
