In other words, I can live with it, but some Manga are still pretty much unreadable. I have tried the various samples in this forum, as well as a couple of my own. The artwork may look OK, but the text-size some scanslation teams picked is so small that it is literally ~5-6 pixel high, and no amount of futzing with sharpening or levels is going to make this legible. Obviously, you can't just change the text-size as with a regular book.

What kind of manga are you reading then? In the picture i've attached, you'd see that the text in the bubble is clearly readable. I don't know which samples you've tried, but I'd like to see them too then.
I've got my own way of processing my collection, which could be the reason why I don't have a problem with it.
As for the resolution, I've done a short research before buying the reader and I've read that on "recycled/cheap"-mangapaper the resolution is about 160DPI, therefor I concluded that the reader's resolution just fit it.
(i'm comparing to the "jump"-magazines, not the hiqh-quality paperback volumes)
I've just bought a manga from the connect store with the credit and indeed, the quality is really washed out... quite terrible.
I've uploaded one sample of the manga I converted for the reader, try that one out:

Not trying to speak good of mangascans, but if scanlations are better quality when converted to lrf compared to a "legal" manga-ebook.. I think i'll stick to scanlations for now.
Now that i've previewed the manga I've bought in the connect reader, I understand why it's so washed out on the reader itself. The resolution is much higher than the reader's. When downsampling, the reader makes it all fuzzy...
