compared to my kobo glo (black text on white/gray background), there's no big difference in eye strain.

then again, i don't read for more than 2 hours at a time anyways. i gotta eat, pee, stretch, so invariably i have 5-10min breaks every so often anyways.
To me this isn't night mode - the white text is still much too bright. I prefer a light gray font with a black background in apps that let me set the font color. For those apps that don't let me set the font color and have the bright white font, I use the Filter Your Screen app and put a gray filter over it. For less eye strain, I also need to keep the brightness quite low as well. It's just a matter of finding the right settings for yourself.
