My question is, how much fuzziness should I expect? Is it normal for the fuzziness to get to the point where the fonts are less clear than my old Kobo?
I should also add that while some letters get fuzzy, some get more thin, or have spots or pieces of the letters that are much lighter than the rest of the letter.
A few experiments on my NST reveal that the font and size selections make an enormous difference. You didn't mention what settings you're using. If your device is set to one of the two smallest font sizes and one of the sans-serif fonts, you're more likely to see a noticeable effect.
On mine, the overall impression when it starts to degrade is that some entire lines or areas of the page are fainter than others. In other words, if you look at the screen from a distance, the density isn't uniform.
I usually leave mine set to the third-smallest size and one of the serif fonts. At those settings, the degradation between full refreshes is barely noticeable. Most of the time I don't even think about it while I'm reading.
If you're near a store that sells NSTs, have a look at some display models and see whether their behavior varies from yours. If not, you could try taking a photograph of your screen, uploading it to one of the sharing sites (e.g. flickr), and posting a link here so others can see what you're seeing.
