That is designed-in (on purpose in this case) -
It minimizes "ghosting" and improves contrast on the e-ink screen.

You may want to read up on the lipc and eips controls -

Read through how other people are doing screen controls -

For instance - the posts of twobob - he has done a lot of work with the Kindle display handling in the applications he has ported.

(*) If you are doing an application for the Kindle, people who help you here will be expecting that you will post your code somewhere, with an OpenSource license.
It is rare that anyone will get any help from the members here on building closed source software.
