Disagree. There's plenty of research which shows that dark words
printed on light text are easier on the eyes, especially for long
pages.  Besides paper is *not* inherently whitish -- we make it
that way because we've learned that what works best.

However, there is some truth to the idea that paper and screens
don't use the same color model, and are therefore shouldn't be
compared directly.

But then, I hate reading long texts on a screen.  I print them
out.
