As for greyed out text, I think publishers can also define ‘media queries’ when defining CSS properties and in theory could apply a more appropriate style for Kindles to mitigate this issue. But I doubt many take the trouble to do so.
Why are you people calling this an error? It's not an error. It's how the eBook was made. It's on purpose. Reporting it as an error is wrong.

By the way, what eBook is this?
