I think that is mostly a myth - if you use epub reader app that let you set background colour you have can opague "paper looking" paper, or even a white text no black "night mode"
I am currently using Mantano reader & have tweaked the backround colour to match the Kindle reader's sepia setting. The Moon + reader also has lots of backgroud colour options.
with that set up, if I puy my Kindle fire & my Kobo Aura HD side by side, with similar brightness settings, there's no great back lit effect -
indoors.
outdoors is a different story, in sunlight the tablets turn into mirrors!
so really I'd say the trade off is battery life, vs being able to have a slpash of colour in your books & for your covers
