First, thanks to all involved in this terrific program, just what I have been looking for to read my large collection of History and Biography PDFs on my Cybook Gen3 and, shortly, on my prospective Kindle 3.

After jiggling around a bit with the settings (guided by all the posts in this thread), I have got the conversion to work perfectly on a couple of trial books, both of which look like very good original scans.

However, when I read the conversions in Mobipocket Reader (and in the Calibre Reader), there is one major problem, namely that each line of text looks like it has been printed on an irregular band of grey. It actually looks like the effect you get when you photocopy a page of text where the individual lines have been marked manually with a yellow highlighter.

I have used the "no dilation" option, colorspace "gray"; and it is the same in either portrait or landscape, and with either 4 or 16 colors.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
