The Icarus has an older "Pearl" eInk screen compared to the newer "Carta" screen of the Kobo. The older screen has poorer contrast. There's nothing you can do about it. You may be able to make the screen look better by adjusting the frequency at which a full screen refresh is done, if this is an setting in the device's configuration options, but it'll never look as good as the Carta screen.
