I was looking at the information recently for a Kindle Paperwhite and I noticed that under “Accessibility Features” it mentions the ability to invert black and white. This was a win for me, because I just like reading white text on a black background. But then I wondered why that’s considered accessibility. I don’t doubt that it is for someone out there, I just wondered what eye/brain function makes this better and more accessible over black text on a white background. Just curious, and Google doesn’t seem to know.

I have trouble reading when something is in dark mode. I raised this to one of the design folks that I work with. His question was do I have astigmatism? He pointed me at a few articles suggesting that can cause blurriness in dark mode. Also, it’s generally not as legible in lower light settings.
