Books with white pages don’t emit light, a screen with white backgrounds does
It’s like staring into a lamp.
It literally is.
Yep. And a soft, warm desk lamp is a lot easier in a dark room that a bright white one.
I’ve been reading a dark mode book on an OLED screen and it’s such a treat. The background is pitch black but I crank the brightness up so there is a high contrast and the white letters look really sharp. It actually makes it easier to read
Unless it’s an e-ink screen… then, it doesn’t emit light
And these also don’t need a dark mode.
Everything refects lights, that’s how our eyes see!
emit ≠ reflect
White paper and black text is the norm because until relatively recently, it was much more cost effective… This could be done cheaply with modern tech, and should 100% be a thing…
I’d buy the hell out of dark mode books.
That question was just as stupid as that “you wouldn’t download a car” ad. Hell yeah, I would! And read dark mode books!
I would read that book. I also would download a car. The thing stopping me is the possibility.
books don’t fucking glow alright?
Books don’t light up. They reflect light, but it’s different. Light mode is like staring into a flashlight, almost literally.
Damn. This is effective advertising if it is. I ended up googling it. This book costs $90 :(
Someone got pay for all that black ink
