There's actually a built-in explanation if you hold on the option name. Holding on an option itself allows you to set it as the default.
For font hinting it's… difficult. In principle native should be better, but some fonts just aren't very good with native, so we default to auto. Auto is very good regardless. Some discussion can be found in this issue: https://github.com/koreader/koreader...ment-333471966
Since E Ink screens tend to have a fairly reasonable DPI value, it's not as if hinting off is bad either. It might even be preferable. The tl;dr is that from a sufficiently high DPI (let's say at least ~200) the differences between those options matter less and less. Just toggle between them and see which you prefer. And I imagine off should be imperceptibly faster on first load.
Edit: btw, in case any of the terminology itself is unclear:

Sorry for bothering again. I have a question about what contrast does? When I increase it, it seems to 'blacken' the letters. But when I over-increase it like 15 the letters become ragged. What's the sweet point number of it? Thanks
