Reading on LCD's etc, and the Ipad - what colour background is on the iPad when in reading 'mode'?
I've only recently found how much more pleasant a Word document is to work on, with the 'background' set to a light greyish-beige. A bright white background is terrible.... easy to see for yourself in your web browser:-
on one tab open up
www.google.com in all it's uncluttered bright whiteyness ;-)
and next to it, open up a tab of this site:-
http://pixobebo.com/
Tab between them and see how big the difference in comfort is - and how easy it is to read the text on that pixobebo site, even though it's at the fairly dark end of formats...
This was all started for me from work, where we have a 'session log' which has default settings of green text on a black background - that old stylee computer terminal feel - ah, the old days....
