Try the following experiment: Set text to Caecillia at a small type size (1, 2, or 3). Bring up a page of text that fills the screen. Tap the 'nook' button once to bring up the navigation panel, then push it again to dismiss the panel and restore the text that the panel was hiding.
On my Nook, the last line of just restored text is consistently and noticeably darker and clearer than the rest of the text on the screen (particularly with size 1). That's the way I'd like to see ALL of the text look. Dark and saturated.
There may be individual device variation on how dark the text looks, which is why I started this thread. But to me, it looks like the text is not getting fully rendered, and I'm not seeing true 'FFFFFF' black most of the time, it is like it is 'underexposed'. I'm wondering if I'd have better luck if I exchanged my Nook for a different one, but the store models I played with were the same, and together with some reviewer comments, it suggests they are all about like mine.
I'd post photos but my camera is 300 miles away at the moment.

I know what you're saying. I've noticed the same with the smaller font sizes. Very noticeable. You need to beef it up for real clarity.
