Fixed the links in the first post. Sorry about the large images.

I have since updated the firmware to 3.8. Now it seems like the washed out screen is gone if I put the screen to refresh every page. The sleeping screen/book front still have the same problems of being washed out if I have the refresh set to every chapter. I suppose this could easily be fixed in the firmware by always forcing a refresh before setting the device to sleep regardless of the page turn refresh setting. The book cover look is purely visual, it is more irritating that the first page is much lighter after returning from sleep with a faded cover. Sometimes on the verge of being hard to read.

In a way I like the chapter refresh since directly after a refresh the letters are more of a gray shade but after a few pages the characters get a deeper black from bleed through of the previous lines. The individual characters loose a bit of the crispiness but the deeper black makes up for it. I cannot replicate the deeper blacks by just changing the weight of the font.
