Below is the output from "pdfinfo" on your PDF file (pdfinfo is in the MuPDF distro). You can see it has a JBIG2 bitmap that is 1 bit-per-pixel in depth (black and white). The compression to get that bitmap down to 22 kB is impressive--30 to 1. Even a 1-bit-depth PNG file compresses to only 96 kB--4 x larger. Clearly JBIG2 compression format for this bitmap is done very well--I'm wondering if it doesn't somehow compress the bitmap for each letter (or common combination of letters) internally and then overlay them? I don't know enough about JBIG2 compression capabilities, but it may well be because the JBIG2 compression used in test1.pdf is doing some "special" tricks that the bug in your paperwhite's firmware has been exposed. I'm guessing there must be other software packages out there that will re-compress images inside a PDF, but I don't know of any that will be able to get to this kind of compression level/quality. Maybe some other folks can chime in? (Or you could start a new thread with the specific question about re-compressing and/or changing decoding of images in a PDF file.)
