I am wondering what ebooks would look like in 1 bit mode, if they would have jaggies or not.
They would have jaggies-- 1bit mode means each pixel is either on or off-- and anti-aliasing works by fooling the eye with shades of gray. Since you're turning off all the in-between shades they would jump out at you if you're the kind to notice them.
