I have Kindle reader on Android 2.2 on my Epic 4G phone. I've run into one book where the text will not switch to white when I change the screen to white text on black background.

The text isn't actually black, more like a very dark grey so it is dimly visible. Works fine in black on white and black on sepia modes.

The book isn't DRM. What's wrong with it and how do I fix it? (And why is it even possible for a mobi book to override the reader software's function to render text in white?)

I use white on black because with a SAMOLED screen that increases the battery life a lot because the black areas are completely off and using no power, unlike how black pixels on a backlit LCD are using maximum power, plus the backlight using power.
