Adjusting background color
Search didn't seem to give me anything useful here. I'm downloading texts from Project Gutenberg where the background is something other than white. On my Kindle Paperweight (sorry, Paperwhite) this makes reading somewhat difficult since it results in black on gray, not white. This seems to be common in HTML texts, but I've seen it in others as well.

Is there any simple way to force the background to white in these e-books? Note that I'm NOT up to speed on the "modern" HTML/CSS.

look for background-color in the css and either remove it or /* comment it out */

And grab a CSS cheatsheet Link at the bottom of our Wiki https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/CSS

Use the Look & Feel->Styling->Filter style information part of the conversion dialog. Tell it to remove colors and you should be fine.
