Shak3800 - I am not sure which reader App you are using on your Icarus, but some are better than others at allowing you to fine tune your font for a sharper, more solid look. My preferred App is Alreader, which gives a decent range of font tuning options. Also, on Android e-ink readers, I have found having a frequent refresh rate helps.

As Dopedangel suggests, try some other fonts too. I like the Charis Modified available on this site.
Thanks for yoursuggestions.

I downloaded Alreader and even though i had a hard time finding the weight tuning of fonts and a way to get full screeen and hide the taskbar of Boyue , i cant figure it out how to enable refresh. I changed the setting to enable refresh to Always but it doesnt do it. I still get washed fonts afterwhile. Is it normal for a Carta screen to have this issue with wash out fonts? I tried Charis modified and it is a little better but still dont know why Kobo doesnt have this issue even though it refreshes on every chapter whereas Icarus refreshes every 5 pages. Issue can be fixed on default reader (adobe reader) when i choose refresh every page on Icarus
