I would actually think that PDFs, especially image-based ones, would be worse for aliasing than reflowable formats because the font may not be scaled to the screen resolution, and that would lead to a greater fuzziness in the display.
I know I find the lettering in comics and manga to be fuzzier than standard text-based LRFs and EPUBs.

No, what I'm complaining about is the anti-aliasing as well. It blurs and lowers contrast in details that cannot afford the drop in contrast. Good anti-aliasing demands reasonably high contrast to be effective, and the solutions used on e-ink readers are mediocre for anything other than squared slab serifs and vertical sans.
I'm not disagreeing with the need for anti-aliasing, but rather I'm saying that the hardware is too lacking to make good use of it.
