Of course I explored the device and the settings. It's that the display background is too dark grey and the lettering is not black enough. No amount of bolding or font changing solves this.

Modern high-end Kindles (and the 300 DPI Clara HD) may be a little nicer-looking but probably not enough to make that much difference, especially if you like Kobo's other features or the screen size. In Kindle-verse I only have experience of the PW3, on which the light is always on, and couldn't find a combination of settings I liked enough to actually read on that one after getting used to Kobo's single-pixel font adjustments and setting the light by percentage.

My Kindle 4NT isn't touch or lit at all and has a beautifully whitish grey background and super black lettering. That's all I want but as you said it seems everything, even expensive high end models, are darker now and require the light for legibility. Even the cheap models in every lineup have lights now and suffer this problem. I guess I will return the Kobo and buy a few old Kindles off eBay and hope for the best. I would love some more features, but the display and lettering are paramount to me and deal breakers if not suitable.
