Thanks for posting that article -- it makes me feel SO much better. I'm a first-time e-reader owner with a Kindle 2, and it was hard for me to figure out if my Kindle was hard to read because of the screen or because of the lighting in my house. (I'm thinking it's a bit of both, but mostly the lighting in my house.) I also started noticing ghosting after using it for about a week. At first I thought it was because my screen is degrading (oh noes!!!) .... but now I'm thinking that I only just started noticing it after seeing complaints about it online. It also helps knowing that ALL of these problems could likely be fixed by a future firmware upgrade.
