tl;dr (my new favorite abbreviation)
I don't like the white on black. I don't enjoy reading that way. Any other settings I've tried with dark text on a white/near white background are uncomfortable for me to use for any long period.

Eink reads very much like reading paper, and is both more comfortable and preferable for me.

So I'm with Cinisajoy's first page post.
Plus, Even if it were comfortable, I'd prefer not to jump through hoops re-configuring brightness and settings, using dimness apps, whatever. Better to open the ereader and have it be perfect from the get-go. Illumination, be it fro frontlight, book light, room light or sunlight, is as it always has been with paperbooks (well, 'cept the frontlight part.)

Re: DD's first page post, is it snobbery to suggest that if one is comfortable reading on paper, they will likely be comfortable reading on eink as well?
That's as far as I'll go, dogma-wise.
