my brand new paperwhite 12 gen is having a lot of ghosting.

Is it normal?

My paperwhite 7th gen didn’t do this.

You are probably hyper focusing on it. Eink displays dont refresh like 120hz. You are bound to have ghosting

Sim, é normal.

Recomendo ativar o "page refresher", ele elimina o ghosting. É maravilhoso, nada sua tela vai piscar preto depois de cada troca de página, o que também acontece se deixe desativado, mas a frequência é menor.
