Accessing the themes is easy:</p> <ul> <li>Launch iBooks and open a book</li> <li>Tap the “aA” button at the top of the screen and tap on “Theme” to show the three choices; Normal, Sepia, and Night</li> </ul> <p><strong>Normal</strong> shows classic black text on a white background, this is great for mid-day reading when the ambiant lighting is brightest, but later in the day it can be harsh on the eyes.</p> <p><strong>Sepia</strong> offers dark brown text against an off-white background, making it perfect for dimmer lighting in early mornings or evenings when the surrounding light isn’t quite as bright.</p> <p><strong>Night</strong> is light grey text on a black background, which is ideal for reading in the night time in darker rooms. Not only is it easier on the eyes, but the inverted screen colors stop the iPhone or iPad from illuminating the rest of the room like an artificial lamp, making it less obnoxious if someone in the same room is trying to sleep. You can also take the Night theme concept system-wide <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/11/07/invert-the-ipad-or-iphone-screen-to-make-reading-at-night-easier-on-the-eyes/">by inverting the iOS screen</a>, making it easier to read web pages and use other apps in the darkness.</p> <p>The Sepia theme is probably the best all-around choice to use if you don’t want to be tweaking themes throughout the day. Use it in combination with adjusting the screen brightness and you can read comfortably in just about any lighting conditions. The dimmer the surrounding light, the lower the brightness should be, this makes it easier on the eyes and has the added benefit of <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2012/03/21/6-tips-to-maximize-ipad-battery-life/">improving battery life</a> of an iPad or iPhone.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Gnkx9kLIOkbq25xFm1vBW0GTFcA/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Gnkx9kLIOkbq25xFm1vBW0GTFcA/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Gnkx9kLIOkbq25xFm1vBW0GTFcA/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/Gnkx9kLIOkbq25xFm1vBW0GTFcA/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=pFvq0hqEclc:avZ7c2MuATA:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=pFvq0hqEclc:avZ7c2MuATA:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=pFvq0hqEclc:avZ7c2MuATA:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=pFvq0hqEclc:avZ7c2MuATA:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=pFvq0hqEclc:avZ7c2MuATA:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=pFvq0hqEclc:avZ7c2MuATA:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=pFvq0hqEclc:avZ7c2MuATA:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/pFvq0hqEclc" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
