Why is white-on-black text mentioned as “accessibility” for this product?

296 views

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.

All the answers about dyslexia could be right, but one point not mentioned is “Night or Dark” mode, people love to read in bed, perhaps that’s another reason for it,
