I find that SW produces quite decent ebooks if you go to the trouble (and it is, truthfully, a lot of trouble) to produce a really clean Word doc. I also find that a conversion from Word to html to epub via Calibre can produce very good results, even without touching the html in between. You won't get fancy embellishments, but you will get a good-looking, readable ebook. Same with mobi.

Freda tends to strip a lot of CSS (definitely the case in WP7, maybe not so in early Windows Mobile builds). If the issue is hard-coded black text in the CSS, a reader that strips CSS won't show the issue. However a reader that doesn't, like Stanza on iPhone, will show black text on a black background in "night" mode.
