Right now, I'm trying to see how it is with ePub format... but the conversion from PDF to ePub is so loooonng (2 hours from now with Calibre, still counting...)
That may be your best bet. I think the problem isn't with the text being faded, it's probably that the fonts used in PDFs have narrow 'strokes'. This is fine on paper where the resolution and contrast is usually very high, but it does make the printing faint on the lower resolution e-ink displays because of antialiasing. If Calibre could convert to a new PDF with fonts with thicker strokes, I think that would be ideal. Disabling antialiasing in the ereader would probably help make the text darker, but I think it would look pretty ugly.
