For myself, I use a background tinted slightly off white, black text (except where the ebook's css uses color) and control brightness appropriate to the reading environment by the app's screen gesture for that (or its menu).

I used to do that with Marvin for iOS, now I just set it to black text on white background. That way, color warmth and brightness are still the same when I switch apps.
iOS 10 introduced more granular control of "Reduce White Point" via Accessibility settings which gets it to a dim enough level for me. At night, I usually have it around 70-80%. Then I just make minor adjustments as needed via vertical swipe in Marvel (although I typically don't have to).
On iOS 9 and older, "Reduce White Point" had one setting (~25%, I believe) which was still too bright so I had to make use of extra dimming settings in my reading apps. Now, I don't have to.
