I recently added the night mode to my Kobo (I don't know if that's an option for Kindles or not), which gives me a black screen and white letters. That did the trick for me, I can have a good contrast and still not get blinded by the white background.
I've tried "night mode" on other devices, and for me, it makes things worse. I think it's my astigmatism, but for whatever reason, the white letters on black background just look like they're vibrating, and it's almost an instant headache.
