[Papi]

I was playing around with the contrast / brighness settings while reading an epub the other day, I don't usually change these settings since I guess the contrast is what it is (and it's good indeed) and changing the contrast is in fact just a processing of the image displayed, and has no effect on the way the screen itself behaves.

Anyway, it has some weird effect, like when putting the contrast at max. and reducing the brightness, the "background" is still the same white until you reach -127, below that the background become darker.
So if you do that (contrast at max and brightness at -127), depending of the font used, you obtain something like a bold font, but a bit messy (see pictures, although I was not at max contrast and brightness when taking the picture -127). It's kind of repelling because it's too bold, but at the same time the text is darker and the small irregularities makes it look like a bad printed book (ok that didn't sounded positive, but the idea is the irregularities adds a bit of "organic" to it).

I don't know which one I prefer at the long term, maybe I should try to replace the font used in the book (my 650 is "russified", but this book is borrowed from a library, and I guess it uses it's own (embedded ?) font).

Anyone think replacing the font by a bolder one can achieve the same result ? Like the font used in the Kindle, it always seems to me (on photos, never saw a Kindle 3 in real life) that it has better contrast, but then maybe the readability is not that great.
