Well, it's dark grey on light grey independent of which book I try and read, and while I realise no background is truly white, ditto black font, it's extremely noticeable on the KBO which it hasn't been on previously readers. Since the main reason for using an e-reader is that my sight is very bad and I can increase the backlight and also font size, the greyness of font especially is very frustrating since it makes reading more difficult. Gaaah. Please is there a way of at least improving the darkness of the font? I have tried getting in touch with Kobo service but unfortunately I live in a backwater (Sweden) so no Kobo service here.
Edit: Finally talked to Kobo Service in the UK and no there is nothing to do except use 100% backlight which does help a bit. Of course the problem then is that it will drain the battery a lot faster. We'll see just how much faster after I've put all the books onto the reader and recharged it. I did tell her that in the next firmware update please try and solve this problem. She promised to forward it to the development team. Doubtful it will help, but hey, why not?
No not sideloaded, some retail, a lot of fanfic. Same problem. And yeah, all the text on the reader is the same, eg, dark grey/light grey. Well, in the meantime I guess I'll just use the 100% backlight and hope it doesn't shorten the battery too much.
