That's my experience too, with all those night-modes and high-contrast modes and whatnot. They're hellishly uncomfortable. I couldn't read even a news article that way, let alone a novel.

Then again, there are people who read in a pitch-black room with brightness cranked up. That's also totally mystifying for me. My eyes start to water in less than a minute, every time I try to read in a completely dark room.

Too little contrast or too much contrast, both are equally bad for my eyes.

Mind, I can read quite a while on a LCD screen in a normal mode, with brightness set rather low. I just don't want to. It's ten times more pleasant and comfortable to read on my Kindles. I see no reason why I should give my Kindles up in favor of a tablet.
