I purchased mine this morning, then took it out by the pool. The ghosting on mine was pretty significant - so much so that the letters of the current page were mottled where the previous page's letters were.
I took it by the store to see what could be done and they were going to exchange it with a different one, but they were out. I guess if other folks are having the same issues, then it is in the design and not with my particular unit.
I saw someone mentioned the actual "refresh" only happened every 6 page turns?
All e-Link displays suffer from some amount of ghosting its just a matter of how noticble it is. I had to load the image from Moblilereads forum in an image editor and crank the contrast up to see what he was talking about.
With the N1E I was rather annoyed when update 1.5 was released with the faster page turns. I had just started a book with a lot of images and the images always ghosted to the next page.
As new as your unit is, I would use it for 14 days and see if it doesn't improve. If it doesn't improve to your satisfaction return it and get either a replacement or a credit. My guess is that effect will lessen as the display is exposed to light.
The "screen refresh" people are refering to isn't an actual refresh but a page flush. Thats where the entire screen is turned black then white to reduce any ghosting effect. On the N1E and most e-Ink devices that happens on every page turn. On the Nook 2E that happens every 6 pages.
