I think this effect is due to the image in the book being made up of light colours, and the renderer displaying it in a progressive fashion; first it is rendered as black/white, then the colours are added.

The basic problem is that the image is too light, perhaps because the publisher has used a greyscale scan of an image that was originally printed in black/white. I think the only solution is to edit the book and use an image editor to darken up the image (or for many scanned images, converting the image to black/white gives the best result.)

In this thread I posted screenshots of a greyscale image converted to black/white.
