Since the text starts washed out after flipping a few pages some parts of letters are proper black (like the "d" in under) while others stay washed out until a letter on some later page have overlapped it.
Do I have a dud on my hands? Should I try a factory reset?

tintin, I just had all this happen to me, and it was the book.
I had been happily reading with Aura HD on 3.8.0 with no trouble, then started a new book. I usually edit mine in Calibre so the layout suits my aging eyesight, but hadn't prepared ahead so started to read this one as is. All OK and I used the sleepcover at about page 30 before going to sleep. Next morning it had all your symptoms!
When I had a look at the book (a side-loaded epub) in Calibre editing the formatting was crazy. Though the individual file sizes were under the 260kb recommended, most of what looked like paragraphs were in fact just breaks, and the actual paragraphs were often 10 pages long!
Took quite a while to edit, but the newly paragraphed book is now on the Kobo and all the problems have gone. (Only other thing done was I charged the battery but it was at 50% to start with, so probably not the culprit.) So I suggest you look at the book, especially since it is very long. Usually the problems accumulate as you go through the book so they're not obvious at the start, usually the main problem with epubs is that the individual file sizes are too large, but it could also be a formatting problem as I just had.
Also I'm a bit of a newbie about long books, they may have their own problems as well - maybe someone could make other suggestions?
Hope this helps
