Not nearly as hard as black text on a white background.

My actual point here is that this kind of preference is very
idiosyncratic - it's one reason I strongly dislike today's Web culture,
because it's full of just that kind of "I know better than you what
kind of presentation will make this content most useful [or appealing
or whatever] to you".

And, actually, I find black text on a white background fine - when the
display technology is purely reflective, such as ink on paper.  For
emissive technologies, such as almost all computer displays, the
background really needs to be black for me to be able to tolerate it
for even mildly extended use.
