Ghosting drove me crazy with CRTs and older LCDs, so I guess this is not for me.

> Ghosting ... I guess

You should try. E-Ink displays refresh their areas using algorithms involving "waveforms", normally at a layer which hides the details, but giving the vendor and user options about how the display will work. The amount of ghosting depends on the "waveform".

I have no issues with ghosting using an Onyx Boox Max2 as a tablet for word processing - which is quite an achievement.

I do not think so no; I am from a CRT generation and I never noticed even with burnt in amber or monochromes(green). If you cannot stand that, eInk won't work for you I guess.
