How to Turn On Night Reading Mode in your iOS Device

Is your head slightly throbbing from reading in a dim light at night? There is a way to enable night reading mode in your friendly iOS devices.
Reading at night with a poor light may cause eye problems to the readers. Moreover, reading in an e-book reader may be harsher than reading a paperback version because of the inappropriate light of the device.
There are apps available in the Apple app store that makes night reading more comfortable. For example is the book reading app iBooks 1.5. It has a new option that allows readers to read in low-light conditions.
With this night-time reading mode in the fonts menu, the default white-on-black color scheme is reversed - background goes black while the text color turns white thus causing less strain to your eyes in the dark. Another app that does the same thing is Instapaper app that offers a similar dark theme for your late-night reading sessions.
However, the apps only work on the eBooks in your device. It would be pretty if you can bring the night-time reading mode even in your RSS feed reader, your email client and even in your web browser since not everybody reads that much. Thus, you will never have problems reading content in at night.
Here is an easy way to work around the trick. On your iOS device, tap the Settings icon and choose General –> Accessibility –> Triple-click Home and and set it to “Toggle White on Black.”
Press the Home button to exit Settings and launch any reading app. Triple-click the Home button on your iOS device in quick succession and it should enable white-on-black effect quite similar to iBooks Night mode. Triple-click again to switch to normal mode. Voila!
However, this does not work when one is viewing photographs and images as those will look like photograph negatives.
