I can read on a tablet on a sepia/tan background, but it's still less comfortable than my Kindle, either my current Paperwhite or my old Kindle 3.
Same here.

After years of trying it on and off, I've found I can't read with a black background, no matter what color the text. Eye strain and head aches follow pretty quickly.

Sepia is okay, although right now on the iPad mini using "Marvin" I like the "Light ePaper" and "Dark ePaper" themes with black text the best so far. I'm sticking with it for a while to see how it holds up.

For eInk, so far I like my Kobo Aura the best for light. The fonts seem to be less transparent than on the Nook or Paperwhite. I don't feel like they're blue and fading away.
