Try forwarding that to Ectaco!

They might be able to tweak their drivers to display the colors more truthfully, making more use of the brightest colors in their palette, and reducing the use of the (more abundant) matte colors.
This practice is widely used in laptops. Sony in their vaio laptops calls it xbrite or something....



Doing so they would not make use of the full color palette, and images may seem more grainy, but the benefits might outweigh the disadvantages!

It might be nice if they had a patch so users can decide if they want to keep the original 4k color palette, or use an eg: 2k brighter color palette.
I mean, even an 8bit 256 color palette would still look better than all the other ebook readers which have 8bit black and white only.

The only other thing it could affect,is when reading a text that does not have completely black letters, eg: in some color text books, blu-ish, or greyish text is used,that might deform a bit in shape due to the color palette; but I hardly think that would be an issue.
