Kindle is a good companion for anyone who likes to read and wants to have a choice of having to choose from multiple books at the same time. Even though Kindle’s screen is a bit different from the one on a regular tablet, it can still hurt your eyes during a heavy reading at night. Kindle, however, gives you an option to ease your eyes and activate Kindle dark mode which will swap the colours on your screen.
Kindle makes for a great e-book reader when compared to traditional tablets. But when you’re trying to read at night, the sharp white background light can be a problem for your eyes. Relieve your eyes using dark mode on Kindle.
There used to be an accessibility setting called Inverted Mode in Kindle e-readers before, but Amazon now provides a quick toggle to change the text appearance.
The dark mode is currently supported on Kindle Paperwhite 4 (2018), Oasis 2 (2017) and newer. If you can’t see the feature yet, make sure you are connected to your Wi-Fi and that your Kindle is updated to version 5.12.4 or higher.
Do I need some Dark mode Kindle App to do this?
Nope, currently all versions from some 2018 support dark mode out of the box. Simply follow the steps below.
