I know I wasn't clear (could it be, that I was the source of misconception?) check at the end of this respond something might be an interest to you.

I agree, however E-Ink Corp should QC their own screens before handling them to others. It's all about giving credits where its due. Amazon/Kobo are to be blamed as well, but E-Ink Corp's fault should be highlighted.

About the font weight thing.

To give a better proof of concept, I decided to do it myself (not too shabby for my first epub :P).
Here is an epub, I created with font weight that varies in thickness (boldness). It's going to be nearly one week before I receive my Voyage, so I couldn't test it out (your feedback/screenshot would be greatly appreciated).

Give it a try, hopefully you find it useful.
