I’m pretty sure that they got white backgrounds for one generation of ereader and realized that it’s not something they should strive to achieve. Most physical books don’t hit the same bright white as a screen can hit, even eink screens.
The clamor for an invert mode for Kobo and Kindle should also be an indication of the general move away from pure white screens.
As to getting bored with an ereader, can’t say as I can relate to that. It’s way more customizable than any book will be, I never need an outside source of light, I can have more than one book without increasing the weight or size.
Why would I go back to physical media?
