From left to right: PW3, PW4, Libra H2O

(That's the *Luma vs. *Luminance algo in IM speak for the -grayscale switch).

So, curious: is it the same source? Is that the native reader in each case? Or KOReader?
Screenshots would be preferable to photos for comparing dithering. (I understand that getting screenshots from kobos can be problematic.)
