One thing that I've done to increase the contrast so I can keep reading much later outside than I would normally (without needing added light that is), is when I add extra fonts to my Sonys, I only use the bold versions. I make copy of the bold and bold italics, rename them to regular and italic, and you've got darker text everywhere.
What I read seldom has bold highlights, 99% of the time it's italics. And if there is bold text, it's usually in chapter titles or other headers where the font size is a bit larger as well. So I don't miss seeing a difference between regular and bold at all for myself.
Sucky eyesight makes you use lots of tricks.
