... because Nickel always dithers image content on its own (inline, cover, sleep, roughly all the things that matter in current FW revisions. Speaking of the KePub renderer, because I won't touch ePubs with a ten-foot pole on Kobo), which we already knew ^^.

*How* it actually does that depends heavily on the specific device, though (and on the FW version. It used to be worse. Which, ironically, was slightly better if your content was pre-processed properly ^^).

(On the H2O, it's easy: there's no hardware/kernel support for it, so it's all Nickel).
