That’s cause they don’t sell them this way

I imagine white ink that's actually opaque enough to stand out against black paper is more expensive than garden variety black ink. Not to mention the extra step of having to dye the paper black.

I had a journal in high school that was all black, with black pages and came with a silver pen to contrast with the black. Sickest journal I ever had.

My niece has a form of dyslexia, these types of books are easier for her to read.

That's what we used to use to prevent game piracy.

Good luck photocopying glossy black ink on a matt black background.

It's about light emitted, I'm fine with with paper, not with white light blasted to my face.

I would if I could. Although I have never seen a physical black page with white letters so perhaps it would be more difficult to read, who knows

books don't fucking glow alright?

[–] monk@lemmy.unboiled.info 7 points 1 year ago

Yes, and I only read from OLED.

That is indeed pretty sick. For some reason it reminds me of that book that you can buy pre-destroyed, Bats Of The Republic maybe?
