      Hello JessicaS! I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying your new Paperwhite! Sometimes you can experience ghosting like this on eInk devices such as Kindles but it should only be temporary. And like you mentioned, one way to resolve this is to change how often your page is refreshing. Typically, if you have it set to refresh more often, this ghosting image will disappear upon page turns where you see the screen turn black and then come back to normal briefly. If it is not doing this, I would recommend contacting Amazon Customer Support at 888.280.4331 for further troubleshooting and to explore your options. I thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback on your experience with your Paperwhite and I hope that you have an amazing day! AmazonDevices

    The ultimate e-reader for serious readers

    My wife is an extremely avid reader—she reads over 600 books a year, and the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition has been absolutely perfect for her. The screen is easy on the eyes for long reading sessions, the adjustable warm light is fantastic for nighttime reading, and the battery life is outstanding even with heavy daily use. She loves the auto-adjusting front light, the wireless charging, and the fact that it’s waterproof, which makes it easy to take anywhere. The performance is smooth, storage is more than enough, and it’s lightweight and comfortable to hold for hours. If you’re a serious reader or know someone who is, this is hands down one of the best tech purchases you can make. She wouldn’t switch to anything else.

    If you have the previous generation, keep it! Absolutely horrible and glitchy and only fast if you don't have to download anything! Put on a charger for over 6 hours and still didn't get a full charge. Only had it off the charger for an hour and it's at 88% horrible! Save your money!

    The Kindle Paperwhite is the best thing I could have ever purchased, and I received a great deal on it. It is lightweight, holds a great charge, and I love that we can toggle between light and dark mode. Makes reading on the eyes a bit easier depending on the time of day. Overall, I’d give this a 10 star rating if I could. You won’t be disappointed.

    I absolutely love this Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. The screen is very clear and easy on the eyes, especially for long reading sessions. The glare-free display feels like real paper and is very comfortable to use day and night. The battery life is outstanding and lasts for weeks without needing to recharge. The automatic brightness feature is very convenient and adjusts perfectly depending on the lighting. I also appreciate the large 32GB storage, which allows me to keep many books without worrying about space. The device is lightweight, elegant, and very easy to hold for long periods. Overall, this is the best e-reader I have used. It is simple, reliable, and perfect for daily reading. Highly recommended for book lovers.

    The 2024 Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition is a fantastic upgrade for serious readers. The 7-inch high‑contrast display with auto-adjusting light makes reading effortless in any environment, and performance is noticeably faster and smoother than previous models. With 32GB of storage, wireless charging, and a sleek Metallic Black finish, it feels truly premium. Battery life is excellent, and the waterproof design makes it perfect for reading anywhere. A great choice if you want the best Kindle experience. This a great choice for Kindles.

    I’ve been using the Kindle Paperwhite for a few months now, and it has easily become my favorite way to read. The display is crisp and glare-free (even in bright sunlight) and the adjustable warm light makes it comfortable on the eyes during long reading sessions. It’s lightweight, easy to hold with one hand, and the battery lasts for weeks, not days. The seamless integration with the Kindle store and library apps makes getting new books simple. If you’re a reader looking for a dedicated device that feels like reading on real paper with the convenience of modern tech, I highly recommend the Kindle Paperwhite.
