It seems there is almost no situation in which a black background is required in using a book. In fact, I think it is just an artifact of the scanning process. That part which is not book cover or paper is black.

So I can't see any reason why, for a black and white Sony Reader at least, that you couldn't just delete background colors altogether or set them to white and set text to black.

I see your problem...it is like merging a whole series of web pages and whatever is at the top is going to govern as far as CSS goes.

Maybe the solution is to comment it out and allow anyone editing to put it back at their leisure.
