The whole problem is the light coming directly to your eyes. There is no way to reduce that on a dark room while still keeping the text clear and easy to read.
Why use a black background with white text?!? Ick! I can't look at black backgrounds or white text they mess with my eyes. Not to mention I can see myself which is worse, very distracting.

Try a sepia theme for the Kindle app it's what I use. If it's Mantano I find I prefer Grey with Black text for night reading sometimes I will use sepia though I made myself. Using Screen Dim and a more comfortable theme you shouldn't have any problem reading on it.

On Mantano you can use any font. Use a font with more weight for night reading. It depends on the device. I find on my Samsung Galaxy Player 5. Nokia Pure Font works best while on my Kindle Fire I use Amasis Bold or Trebuchet Bold.

I have 3 different LCD devices soon to be four. No problem reading on the first 3 in the dark with Screen Dim.
