You want gray on black, with just enough contrast to see the words comfortably.

People think if they set the background to black and the letters to white, it'll be ok. But this differs greatly on the person and the surrounding light.
When reading in the dark on my Kindle Fire I use the Sepia theme with the Screen Dim app set to minimum brightness. If I use Mantano I use Grey background with black text. I can't read on a black background. I see slits and on my Fire my face staring back at me. Eek!

I can read a Tablet with no problems as long as I use the Screen Dim app.
