As such, I don't think the Contrast option makes the black blacker.

One way to measure this is to take photos and check the digital color of the pixels. I should also do it in Neoreader as well.

But judging with my eyes alone, I do not think the Contrast option makes black text blacker, only heavier.
The contrast settings won't make black pigments more black or white pigments more white. That's nonsense. If a image is #000000 these contrast settings can decide it will be #333333 instead unless constrast is high enough. But the look of pure black and white pixels is effectively done by the EPD pigments.

Also, based on https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...28&postcount=1 they seem to do a nasty job on activities that have their own contrast settings. It could help for most android apps, which are not optimized for a 16gray palette.
