If anyone has access to more professionally designed fonts with lots of different weights in the font file, rather than going pure bold, you might try a Medium weight or a Semibold. I usually use Minion Pro for my books, and I've experimented around with both those weights. It definitely produces darker text. I have a 505, so contrast isn't really a problem to begin with, and ultimately I didn't like the horizontal expansion of the characters that went along with these heavier weights, but that's me: I'm just real picky. Most others probably wouldn't care. The heavier weights (but still less than full-on bold) might fix your contrast problem in a more subtle way than just bolding everything.
Just a thought.
