My wife prefers uniform lighting - even if that means you are looking
into the light. When reading in bed, she will turn on the overhead light
(single ceiling rose or lots of GU10 spotlights) which illuminate the
rest of the room and shine right in your face, but leave the pages of
the book in shadow, She believes that reading by over-the-shoulder
light, with the book brighter than the background, strains your eyes.

Over-the-shoulder light would be a lot better than black letters on a
very dark gray background (because your eyes are adapted to the bright
light coming around the edges of the book).
