Books don't light up. They reflect light, but it's different. Light mode is like staring into a flashlight, almost literally.

I prefer light mode in light environments and dark mode in dark environments. I find it's easiest on my eyes when the background of the text matches the room ambience. (of course this has to be paired with matching screen brightness)

Yeah, light mode is great for when you're outdoors.

Only then.

It’s called orbiting a star, and even then it’s only when you’re facing the star

“On a beamer” Nobody calls them beakers around here. For me it’s always been “star”

I don't get what you're trying to say.

Could you please enlighten me?

Poor contrast is what kills your eyes. You should adapt your screen to your environment.

Problem is, not many screens can compete with the of light of a sunlit room for daytime viewing. That makes dark (text) on dim (background) on light (environment) very rough. Even for daytime viewing light (text) on dark (background) on light (environment) can feel better.

But dark (text) on (light) background on light (environment) is excellent if you can accomplish it, since it's only single step of high contrast because your monitor blends into the environment.

However I bet you could make a book with ink that glowed.
