When flipping to another page, the fonts for a very brief (very brief!) moment appear bolder and, it seems to me, more contrasted, but then they turn less contrasted.

This is particularly noticeable with smaller fonts (especially serif, especially especially when the book uses publisher-embedded serif fonts you cannot change).
This happens on my Kindle as well, using a font called Gentium Basic. When I see that the font/text is bolder than usual (typically after flipping to another page, as you said), out of habit, I tap on the top area, the toolbar shows up, I then tap anywhere on the page to hide the toolbar, and the text goes back to how it should look like.
