DoctorM · 05-24-2015, 01:34 AM

I purchased a PRS-T1 recently on ebay, used but in excellent condition.

This is my first ereader, but I feel like the text in books isn't black enough.
In fact the main menu seems to have blacker icons and text than the books themselves.

I tested several ebooks and that seems to make no difference.

I played around with the Customize View/Adjust View, didn't like the presets and set custom contrast and brightness to +64 and -64 respectively.
This gives me a really dark font without any jaggies.

Is it normal that for the text to be not quite black on these devices by default? I've never seen it mentioned.
