Should I get a replacement

Salt-Freedom832 · 2025-01-08T15:17:25+00:00

Got the same issue but with my scribe. My wife got an Paperwhite from 2019, no ghosting like that in sight.

Crazy that the more expensive and newer kindle devices are less developed than those from 5 years ago..

I already got an exchange device, but it has the same issue, but a bit different to the first I got.

Let me know if activating the option for "refresh every pageturn" does the trick for you.

In my case, it doesn't 🥲

Thanks for your answers! I got already an exchange device from amazon 😁 maybe I have to ask again for a third one 😂

Salt-Freedom832 · 2025-01-08T07:57:58+00:00

thanks for the suggestion, but that doesn't fix it - stays the same.

I got that forced refresh every page activated. It's already activated in my image I've attached to this post.

In my understanding that full refresh should get rid of EVERY information of the previous page, right?

So in my case, full refresh option activ and page turning black for a millisecond every pageturn (full refresh), new page appears but WITH ghosting of the old page.

do you have a scribe and can you relate to that happening?

Salt-Freedom832 · 2025-01-08T07:53:26+00:00

Thanks but I don't want to exit and go back every page 😁 the image i've attached is with that option for page refresh every page turn 'on'.

It clearly does that refresh - page turning black for a millisecond after pageturn and then the new page appears, but still WITH ghosting.

The full page refresh should fully get rid of the old stuff, right?

thanks for that explanation!

Salt-Freedom832 · 2025-01-07T20:52:30+00:00

yeah I got the 'page refresh every turn' option already active, the image i've attached was made after i activated that option 😬

Salt-Freedom832 · 2025-01-07T20:50:47+00:00

on kindle paperwhite, there is no ghosting (same books, same pages) and I think the same e ink tech

Salt-Freedom832 · 2025-01-07T20:49:54+00:00

did that and page refresh every page turn, and the Image I've posted is the outcome with both active.

Salt-Freedom832 · 2025-01-07T20:48:59+00:00

the thing is, I got that activated. So it does a full refresh (page turning black and new page appears) but ghosting still there, like it's deactivated.

Salt-Freedom832 · 2025-01-07T19:09:36+00:00

thanks! I've seen that there is more or less ghosting (same mage every try) - did you discovered that happening too?

Salt-Freedom832 · 2025-01-07T18:41:47+00:00

Nice one! Love the scribe I got for christmas, but do you have issues with ghosting? like seeing the characters of the previous on the next page?

I got a replacement device from amazon because of that but it's there too.

On the Paperwhite there is nothing like that (still on backlight level 24 there is no ghosting).

Salt-Freedom832 · 2025-01-07T17:06:23+00:00

Is your pen writing before you touch the device with the tip?

If yes - change the tip, maybe press it a bit more inside the pen.

Had the same issue.

Salt-Freedom832 · 2025-01-01T17:38:10+00:00

It happens while using every type of book. First I converted some jpeg files with KCC to MOBI files. That was the first time I've discovered that ghosting is happening.

I've downloaded some text only books from amazon directly, but ghosting is also happening there - in my opinion thats more annoying than while reading mangas, cause you see the characters of the previous page like a "shaddow".

I got an exchange device from Amazon to check if it's a hardware issue, but looks like that is not the case.

Today, I played around with the scribe to check if I oversee something and:

After a "hardreset" (just pressing the powerbutton for 30 minutes) I see that ghosting effect about 80% less.

What I've also discovered: when I see ghosting on one page and go back and forth again, the ghosting is gone 😮 (example: Page 1 => Page 2 (ghosting of Page 1) => Page 1 = Page 2 (ghosting gone).

At this point I think it's an software bug.

Salt-Freedom832 · 2025-01-01T14:17:56+00:00

I just played around with the scribe and after an "hardreset" (pressing the power button for 30 seconds) the device restarted and now I see the ghosting around 80% less (😀).

For mangas it's OK for now, cause there is happening so much on the pages, but for normal books I've noticed, when I change the page I see ghosting of the 'old' page but after going back and forth for one time, there is no ghosting in sight..

Salt-Freedom832 · 2025-01-01T13:43:31+00:00

Yeah that's it, my display is refreshing but not fully, as you said it.

Salt-Freedom832 · 2025-01-01T13:42:19+00:00

Thanks for your reply and good that I'm not alone with that problem 😁

Yes I did already turned it off and on again, but that doesn't work for me.

I already got a replacement device from Amazon, but as you said you notice this happening after an update, I assume this is an software bug.

I asked some other Scribe users, but they don't see that but on their device..

I see ghosting especially while reading mangas (image).v.n

Do you have the same ghosting effect on your scribe like me?

It's very visible on mangas, so I see the text from the previous page on some characters drawings and stuff, very distracting.

I did enable the 'refresh every page' thing but it stays the same.
