the problem is not exactly what you thought because my text on PC is black but on the reader seems gray. I've tried steps in your link and i obtain a PDF with only black and white but on the reader the "one bit mode" is still darker then text in normal mode. So i think the reader still cosider the text NOT black...but gray....noone of you find the text unreadeble because of this low contrast ?
I think I see what you mean. When I pan the text of one of my pdf files in zoom mode, the font does contain more black in 1-bit mode than when rendered properly. I think perhaps the 1-bit mode renders the grey pixels in black

I find the default fonts used very smooth and easy to read, but I read mostly epub-books in the medium font-size and only use pdf's for having some manuals handy for various devices. Try reading with slightly more light, and see if it helps.
