OK. I'm now convinced more than ever that this is a software issue or a rendering issue specific to the PP.

I have a PDF that I used to refer to a lot on my DR, that I know had pretty crisp dark text on the DRs eInk screen. On the PP it renders as a dark grey, no matter what zoom level of PDF reflow I use.

A friend of mine, another Brit in Canada, has the same BeBook that I bought in the UK, but didn't like and replaced with the DR. He kept his.

We put the same PDF on his BeBook and it renders darker on his screen than on my PP's.

I'm sure this bug is fixable, however so I'm not worried. I just hope that Astak are conveying this back to the engineers and that they are working on a future solution.
