Hmm.. you guys know that variable resistor on the back of the Reader? I've adjusted it a while back to get the blacker black but as a result had to put up with more ghosting (not that i mind). However in white-on-black mode my Reader doesn't ghost. I think it's because the resistor makes the black more "forceful" and decreases white ghosting (while increasing black ghosting).

Anyway, my point is:

I'm thinking that people who are having ghosting problems might not have them if they switch to white-on-black.

Also, people who would really like to use this mode but can't stand the ghosting may adjust their resistor.
