Is there a way to more closely approximate the look of the Kindle on the iPad? For example, I see that there are screen protectors marketed for the iPad that are supposed to be more like writing on paper, as they have a bit of a matte texture. I'm wondering if that might be a step in the right direction, or if there is an app that allows for more adjustment of the iPad screen than what is built in to the Books app.

Thanks for any suggestions!
All you need to do is change the colors and if that cannot be done in Books (it's been a while since I've run Books) then you can put the colors in the CSS.
