The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

$0.99
Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

I just bought a kindle dx. Except that when I view an image it has an after image from the last screen. What I mean by this is I am able to see the text from the last page when viewing a dark image. I was just wondering if this is suppose to happen? Any help would be appreciated thank you.

Um. That's not normal. Try refreshing? If that doesn't help, I think yours may be a defective Kindle. Try contacting Amazon CS.

Yeah I didnt think so I called CS and what they said is they had to look into it since they've never heard of that before. But, other than that it works perfectly except for being able to lightly see the text from the previous page if the new page is a new image. Sadly, CS told me they would get back to me on the problem now I play the waiting game good thing I can still read with the Kindle. Now I wait for that call.

I bet they're quite busy with all the KDX business. But I'm playing with my DX, and it's not doing that at all. I hate that you have to wait, especially since you just got it. Is it really noticeable?

It sounds like ghosting, I'd try refreshing the page when that happens. I only have a k2 but anytime I see 'leftover' images/words when I do a refresh on the screen it wipes it away.

I had the same exact thing happen on my Kindle DX today too. There was an after image of the birds screensaver. I just clicked on previous and then next and it went away. Has not returned.  Hmmmm.
