I've had floaters since my teens, linked to a bout of Lyme disease. I find eink or non-illuminated LCD screens to be pretty comfortable -- the floaters really show up with an illuminated screen, like a typical tablet.

Note that a sudden increase in floaters can be an indication of a serious problem, and you should get medical advice.
I've had floaters all my life and just attributed it to my generally bad eyesight, no diseases or anything weird ever happened to me. I finally asked my eye doctor what they were when I was 12 and got contacts for the for the first time, so I've always known what they were. I've only had a few small ones in each eye, and I sometimes would play at trying to "see" them before they floated away out of my vision. If they ever get worse though (68 now and they seem the same as always), it's good know the white text on black will make it be almost unnoticeable, as I love reading.
