He doesn't have any special programs on it, but for some reason he finds it easier to read. I put it down to the fact that he can change the background colour. A while back there was a theory that dyslexics could read better if they had coloured glasses and I wondered if changing the background to sepia, it made less of a contrast between the print and the page, and helped the words to stay still.

It depends on the person. I can read on Sepia but I still have some issues. Grey is good color for me to read on. Another one I do better on is blue but nothing too bright. I can't do white, black, yellow or red.
I have several Kindles and when my Dyslexia is acting up I am finding reading on my Kindle Basic works best for me. Just lately I've had a hard time reading on my Paperwhite or Kindle Fire and other tablets. So I loaded my special font into the Kindle Basic and wow what a difference it has made for me. I'm reading again!
The background and font to me makes a huge difference. I also add spaces to every paragraph on the books I read so everything doesn't run together that and my special font makes reading soo much more comfortable for me.
