How do ya like f.lux? I even use it during the day if my eyes are feeling tired and I want a warmer overall tone for the screen. I think it's a super useful utility and in the "wow, why din't I think of that!!!???" category....
On my old Clie nx73v (mobireader or ereader reading software in PalmOS 5) or Nokia N800 (using FBReader on the N800) when I read in the dark use something similar. I use a black background and either a pale shade of blue or pale shade of yellow for text. I flip flop and still have no clear favorite when in that mode.
When reading on that device in the sun using the nx73v (it is a transflective panel device) I use a nice bright white or even a parchment color background and a nice black bold font to get the best refection and contrast combo. I often use the Clie because of it's size for those times I don't want to lug around the K2i in it's cover but don't mind it either.
Just shows there are so many options and that is the important thing...the more high quality tech options we have the better each will become thanks to the "cash for books" drive that publishers and device makers use as their annual and on-going fundraiser.
