Yes, I was inaccurate and used dark mode when I meant inverted.
However though text only CRTs originally used it, "dark mode" was brought back to save power on OLED. It doesn't save power at all on LCD and eink, and in dark/inverted mode the brightness (thus power) may need to be higher.

Reducing the brightness on LCD and eink is better. It's rare that the fonts are optimal for white text on black background. CRT based systems went to "white" paper and Schools went from blackboards to whiteboards as soon as it was feasible.

Books are black text on white paper. Try turning down the brightness.
