I used to read from an old (*very* old) notebook.
My favorite setting was black background and gray text.
I had a notebook with a very small screen. Perhaps that helps too. It means less light generated by a screen. Also, do not read in complete darkness.

It took me quite a long time to find the right combination of reading software, screen colors, and other factors.
At the end, with the right settings, I was able to read many hours quite comfortably.
However, if I can make a recommendation I suggest you to buy an e-ink reader. Perhaps a refurbished or second-hand Sony reader. Or at least try some "reader" with an old LCD screen (the one that works also without backlight). Cassiopeia A-20 is an example of such device.
