I would think that for many internet pages it could be the same kind of tricky.

The Poke2 has a contrast setting (I cannot remember exactly where, as I haven't played with it since I first got my Poke2), that can, in some situations, help make non-eink-enabled apps more legible.

Typical: not familiar, but describe the device as bad.

?? If I wasn't been abundantly clear: I think the device is overall very readable, grey scale is tricky where it conflicts with the app UI design.

Thanks - there is an in-app boox setting to "whiten apps background" which will "optimize the contrast of background, icons, and fonts" - I had this turned on for better readability of the texts I had checked out via Hoopla, but I turned it off again and was able to find the search bar. I'll just have to remember that I need to toggle this on and off.

Not completely sure, but seems you can customize that per-application.
