I could only change the width of strokes with ADOBE PRO one page per time. The result is great but very time consuming for BOOKS. I also tried to convert PDF files into Word and then adjust fonts to bold. But it would change the format of the text. If then I adjusted the margins in Word, it created blank space on many pages -- even within one sentence.

I didn't realize the pdf contrast issue was so important. Unfortunately PB programmers are not working on it. It makes me think about getting a Sony PRS-650
if you have Adobe Pro, you could try this: go into Edit\preferences\accessibility. There are various options on enhanced contrast there that you could try (including changing the document to white on black).

EDIT: you could make the changes even with acrobat Reader, but you wouldn't be able to save the changed file.
