I thought you could change the font boldness in the settings? I saw Goodereader's review of it on Youtube and they managed to make the font as bold as the Paperwhite's, and it looked good. But I agree, the screen is rather pale and bluish, especially at max brightness.

Thanks for the PM! I wish I could find an e-reader with a Carta screen and a backlight for $100ish, but it looks like that's not gonna be possible unless I manage to nab a used H2O.
