I think it's more likely that your screen is broken. I dropped my kindle and broke the screen, and got something similar, where part of the screen was what was on the screen when I dropped it, and the rest was the screen i should be seeing based on where I was in my book.A broken e-paper/e-ink screen looks very different than a broken LCD.

I've had my Kindle 2 for about a month, I preordered it, and yes, I LOVE IT. However, I have not noticed this problem and just checked myKindle 2, and cannot see any evidence of previous screens, no matter how I try. Maybe an issue with yours? I can't even seem to make it happen.

I've had my Kindle for a couple of weeks now, and I just noticed screen burn. On the upper left, I can see the title of the book I've been reading, even when the Kindle is powered down, or I'm at the main page. Why this burn happens, I don't know, since, in theory, you shouldn't be on the same page for more than 10 minutes before it puts up the screen saver.

Lorraine,I sent an email message, but they suggested that I call them to give a better idea of what I'm seeing. I haven't done that yet - mainly because we're going on vacation next week, and I don't want to be without my Kindle. I plan to call them after our spring break next week. (I'm a teacher). I will be sure to let you know what I find out!Jennifer

Just a guy,Thanks...that helps me decide what to do. I checked again...to see if maybe I was going crazy...and I definitely 'see' previous screens after leaving them....sounds like a call to Kindle Support! As long as they don't take my Kindle without getting me a replacement FIRST! : )Thanks again

yea..the little birdies got me too. Turned out it wouldn't even hold a charge. I ended up calling Amazon..very helpful and thourough.l. Went through all the usual troubleshooting. New one is on the way. Hopefully the 3rd Kindle will be a charm.

I can tell you I have been amazed at how much of a non-issue burn-in has been with this TV. On my 6 year old Samsung Plasma it was highly noticeable and I would set the screen wipe function for 30 minutes or more at the end of the day. When I set the screen wipe on this thing I don't see a thing. In fact I don't think I've seen any ghosting since I got this thing.

Sorry, I have never tried or used kindle books. So far, I only download children games for my son and some videos. Apparently, My tab seems to have runaway -moving screens by itself problems-So you can't read books anyway when screens keep moving by itself. Watch out for after you use for a couple of months, the problems will come up. Right now, Office Depot put on clearance item list.

My 120 lasts about 12-14 hours with normal use. I listen to a podcast, playlist or ripped CD and then I change to something different. So I'm using the touch pad and having the screen light up about once an hour. I have the screen backlight set at minimum and set to turn off after 15 Seconds. I think I should get more hours than that out of it. It's certainly NO improvement over my 80!

Try Turning your Kindle off. Wait one minute then Press and Hold the on and off button for 20 - 30 seconds. This procedure worked for me when my Kindle Fire HD system could not start properly.

Has Paul already replaced the screen? If so, it's very easy to inadvertently damage the Menu and Back buttons. If Paul has NOT already replaced the screen, then I would guess that it's a problem 'internal' to the unit. Jack

I've experienced the same situation with mine, but the issue resolves upon closing my cover and waiting a second or two before opening it again. I think it's more of a glitch with the Kindle itself, rather than the cover. Sometimes, my Paperwhite will come on as it should, but the backlight doesn't function. In that situation, I have selected the brightness function from the top toolbar, and toggled the brightness selection level either up or down, and then the backlight works properly again. Another option is to power down your Kindle and then restart, and/or check for software updates. Good luck! Hope that helps.

My chrome book was dropped by accident and basically the same thing happened :( when i took it to best buy they said the screen was cracked and that eventually the liquid will leak all over the screen and it will turn black. I bought the screen and my husband replaced it in less than 10 min... Looks better than the original screen too ;)

Mine lasts a bit longer, but it suspect it's related to how much mousing you do. I read, click mostly with not much scrolling. Mine isn't active as often with the work I do with it. I actually find it a bit hard to invoke the scroll function and usually use laptop pad for any scrolling. ☺️

Mind does not do that when I open it up, so I would suggest you contact Amazon Kindle support. If they cannot help maybe you could get the cover people to replace the one you have with a new one.

Hey Amit, I have had the TV for 4 months, and have almost exclusively played my xbox 360 on it. If there are any burn in issues, I dont see them! I think a little common sense with regards to setting the TV to dim after inactivity, or even shut off (mine does automatically after fifteen minutes of inactivity). Anyway, Ive had no problems! Games look beautiful on this TV, by the way.

I think I have two answers for you. When it happened to me I got a "new" Kindle. But I always thought that it was refurbished, it went down in less than two years. I was told then that the practice would be to give me a new one for one of less value, by one step.

I think there is a problem with the Google system on this tablet. (Google caused it by drastically changing the system after the Cruz was released). The Kindle Fire is a much better product. Send this one back and get a Kindle. (And no, I don't work for Amazon or Kindle...just a better product, IMO). Good luck!

Burn is mostly a myth for modern plasma tv's, and really only happens to lower quality models.I have played hundreds of hours of video games on my plasma tv and NEVER had any burn in problems with menus or various status bars or what not.

Jessica,So glad you asked before buying this thing. The zeepad we got was total garbage. I got it for my nephew and it was almost unusable. The screen is unreadable, it pixelates like crazy, and the device itself feels shoddy. Thankfully, Amazon is awesome and I was able to easily return it for a refund that I put towards the purchase of a Kindle Fire (the 159 dollar ad supported one). Lesson learned as far as I am concerned. The Fire is an awesome device and nothing in the under 300 dollar tablet market comes close to it for performance and value. As for 10-inch tablets, my ASUS Transformer is amazing and I use it constantly. Either would do what you are looking for. Hope this helps. Jessica,So glad you asked before buying this thing.

I've had mine about a year, my husband has had his for just a month or two. I watch some videos but mostly read books or look at bbc news or pinterest so brightness is up about halfway most of the time. I think it lasy fully charged for about two or three hours using it nonstop. Longer if im reading books already downloaded (like on the plane) chrged in about a 45min or so if its turned off, little slower in airplane mode. Note the brightness and things like gps location and wifi searching constantly use power in the background just like your phone! Turn off everything your not using :)
