awesome, your suggestion was right on the money! in the css, *everything* was set to maroon. the text in the *real* book is black, so i have no idea what they were thinking.

anyway, i unzipped, changed to maroon to black, re-zipped, transferred to the reader, and the result is very much easier to read.

thanks so much! (i had no idea an epub was basically a zip archive of a website ...)

the source of my particular ebooks sells drm-free products, so that wasn't an issue in this particular case.
