MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Low-resolution on Poke 3

I thought that my problem must be easy to solve and I searched this forum and the github issues but could not find anything, so apologies if I missed something.

I installed Koreader via the github release on my Onyx Boox Poke 3. And the problem is that everything is very low-res, it looks like heavy dithering. And thus very bad for reading. Not anywhere near as sharp as anything else on the device.

Of course I disabled app whitening but that did not help either. I don't have this problem with any other third-party app like e.g. the kindle app.

One thing that I thought might cause this is when I first opened the app it said that it is assuming my device is a color e-ink device and that I could disable it in settings, which I did. But it did not help. It could be the case that this is just a setting not updated maybe?

Any help would be much appreciated!

I added a photo to show the problem. Compared to the build-in reader it is much more stark.
