Reduce contrast between foreground and background closer to paper; purpose-designed themes like Solarized [1] are very handy at this.
Center text in a pleasant typeface, with limited column width, like Medium does [2], or the Firefox reading mode.

- cauterized 10y agoThis plus overriding fonts with poor legibility or poor screen legibility is what I do too. The linked color scheme is a little too low-contrast for me personally, but the dark grey-on-cream option in mobile safari's reader mode is just about right. White/cream on off-black is also generally pleasant. Also, a "retina" display makes more of a difference than you'd guess until you use one or notice until you don't have one. I always get an unpleasant period of adaptation when I break out the netbook after several weeks with only a MacBook Pro. Heck, even my phone is easier to read on.
