But I don't understand what "Sharpness" does. I can't see a visible difference on my Kobo Glo (although I have aging eyes, so that shouldn't be taken to mean that there is no difference). What, precisely, does Sharpness adjust? What does it change on a per-pixel basis?

Thanks!
If you have the Sharpness slider at the minimum level, you should see the characters have a grey halo and look almost blurry.

At the maximum level, that halo is gone. Edges will be sharp black/white.
