> why is the text color set slightly off black Because pure black causes eye strain. Dark gray on white is superior for long reading sessions when your paper is white. The contrast really hurts after a while if you do pure black on pure white. This is a known phenomenon. In fact, there's experimental evidence (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-28904-x) that this high contrast plays a hand in the onset of myopia, which in extreme forms is correlated with glaucoma and other vision disorders. | ||

> Dark gray on white is superior for long reading sessions when your paper is white. Color is the ink's job. Approximating a lighter shade of black than the ink produces by speckling the output with tiny white pixels is definitely not an improvement in readability. | ||

So the solution is to have blurry text? Most paper in Books isn’t pure white. Leave the text completely black. | ||
